Candidates for all MA courses are assessed on their existing qualities as demonstrated in their work and in their interview, as well as on their potential to benefit from the programme and to achieve MA standards overall. The assessment will consider: creativity, imagination and innovation evident in the work; ability to articulate the intentions of the work; intellectual engagement in relevant areas; appropriate technical skills; overall interview performance, including oral use of English.

Passion, commitment and a strong sense of personal responsibility for one's own learning and development are essential for MA study.

• The portfolio should comprise recent work, including sketchbooks, research and design development
• All work should be marked with the year it was executed.
• Physical work is preferable to digital representation of work wherever possible or appropriate.
