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.

For most courses in 2021, we are asking applicants to submit digital portfolios through our application portal. You will receive further information on how to do this, after you have applied.
