Creating a Portfolio

Some of the courses offered at Goldsmiths require a creative portfolio to be submitted as part of the application process. Preparing a creative portfolio can be time-consuming, and often students misunderstand what admissions tutors are looking for in their work.

We have put together some guidance on Creating a portfolio to assist applicants with this.

Information about the submission of portfolios can be found on our how to apply pages.

Important: Please be aware that for entry to the Fine Art BA (W190), History of Art with Fine Art BA (VW31) and Design BA (W200), while a foundation degree is not compulsory, the vast majority of successful applicants will have completed one and it is considered the most appropriate preparation for our courses.
