Portfolio Submissions are Now Open!

If you are planning to apply for one of the Design Level 8 Honours degree programmes  for either the BA (Hons) in Graphic Communication Design, BA (Hons) in Fashion Design, or the BA (Hons) in Interior Architecture, then you will need to submit a portfolio for review.  

Submitting a Portfolio 

All portfolios must be uploaded via our online portal, which you can access here.

The purpose of the portfolio is to show off your unique creative style and drawing skills. All candidates are required to upload a digital portfolio for review. Before you begin, you will need a CAO or a Griffith College application number. Please ensure you have made an application to either the CAO* or Griffith College** for one of the Honour degree programmes. 

   *All EU/EEA/UK applicants for the first year of our undergraduate degree courses should apply via the CAO. 
**Non-EU/Mature/Advanced Entry applicants should apply directly to Griffith College. 

Mature applicants, or those applying for advanced entry, must submit a direct application through Griffith College. You can apply here.  

Portfolio Tips 

• Quality over quantity: We value the quality of your work more than the quantity. Select your best pieces that truly showcase your skills and vision.  

• Diversity matters: A well-rounded portfolio that demonstrates versatility is often preferred. Show that you can excel in different styles and mediums.  

• Tell your story: Your portfolio reflects you and your unique creative talents. Use it to convey your unique perspective and journey as an artist or designer.  

• Presentation is key: Make sure your portfolio is well-organised and visually appealing. A professional presentation goes a long way in leaving a lasting impression.
