When you apply for a practice-based art, design and architecture course at University in the UK and around the world, you need to submit a portfolio of artwork. The portfolio is the most important part of the application.

Universities want to see your journey of research and progression of thought; exploration of mediums and materials, selection of ideas and concepts, sketchbooks, research folders and notebooks and much more…

LAP is very experienced at assisting you in the selection of the artwork for the presentation of your Digital Portfolio. You need to win an interview with your Digital Portfolio. Only then will you have the opportunity to show your full Physical Portfolio at an interview!

Digital Portfolios need careful consideration and take time to plan and prepare for your University application.
