Portfolio advice

Undergraduate portfolio advice

Here at NUA we are keen to get to know you and your practice. Your portfolio should be made up of work that reflects your creativity, personal interests and influences, as well as demonstrating your technical skills and ability.

COVID-19 update

Due to Covid-19, in 2020/21, we are asking all courses (excluding BA Fashion Communication and Promotion and BA Fashion Marketing and Business) to submit their portfolios (or audition recording for BA Acting) digitally via a link through our application portal.

You will receive further information on how to do this, after you have applied.

We are reviewing our approach to interviews in the light of Government guidelines about Covid-19 (coronavirus). We will keep applicants updated with any changes.
