Portfolio Preparation Workshop

Wednesday 5 Nov, 10:00AM to 1:30PM

This hands-on workshop is designed to support students aged 16+ in developing a strong, well-structured portfolio for applications to university. The day will begin with an introduction to what makes an effective portfolio, including advice on selecting and presenting work, demonstrating creative thinking, and tailoring content to specific contexts.

Students are encouraged to bring their own work physical or digital and will have the opportunity to receive one-to-one guidance from academic staff.

In addition to reviewing content, the workshop will cover practical skills such as:

  • How to photograph and document work clearly and professionally
  • Creating a digital portfolio and managing digital file sizes and formats
  • Organising and sequencing work.

By the end of the day, students will have a clearer understanding of how to curate and present their work effectively.
