    Quotes from our research with current international students studying a creative course in the UK

    The art and design classes at school, I feel was way too academic. It was for the purpose of getting a certain grade, rather than preparing me for my future university career. It was mostly things like analysing artworks or talking about what other artists have been doing, but not much of what we have to do to apply and not much support preparing a portfolio and information about working in the industry or anything like that

    My portfolio was huge. I shouldn't have submitted something so big. So I think to have had advice on what to put in could really help people. It would be good to get a portfolio review before you actually submit the work
