INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAMME OFFERS AND INTERVIEWS, INTERVIEWS AND OFFERS In some cases, we will be able to make you an offer without needing you to come to an interview. However, where it is especially important that we see evidence of your work, we will invite you to bring a portfolio to an interview. Where this isn’t possible, for example because of distance, we will ask to see digital or other images of your work and can interview you on the telephone. The interview is a chance for you to show your enthusiasm for your chosen subject and to explain to us something about our motivation. It is also a great opportunity to visit Cardiff, meet our staff and students, soak up the atmosphere here and ask questions that you did not raise on your Open Day visits. PORTFOLIOS Where you need to present a portfolio it should contain a body of unaided art or design work. It is helpful if at least some of it relates to the area in which would like to study.
