How to apply
Kyle, product design I had my initial interview with Tom from the course team. We talked about the things in design that interest us and ended up talking for longer than the interview was meant to last for. He made me feel extremely excited for the start of the course and I knew I had made the right choice.

Your university application Applying to uni is a big deal. We’re here to help every step of the way with advice on our website and at our online events and Q+A sessions. Our online events about applying to uni will help you to understand the UCAS process, and advise on choosing the right subject and course for you, writing a strong personal statement, and student finance and funding processes. Ask us your questions at any time, or just sit back and take notes! We also run Q+A sessions for parents and carers so that they get their questions answered too. www.brighton.ac.uk/visit
Personal statements
Personal statements are an important opportunity for you to stand out as an individual, and put across to the course team who you are and why you want to be on the course. Many applicants do not find writing a personal statement
easy, so we have put together a ton of hints and top tips on our website. We also run online personal statement Q+A sessions where our students share their experiences, and our lovely team will help you to get answers to your questions. Find out more at www. brighton.ac.uk/personalstatement.
Creating a portfolio
If you’ve applied for a creative media, arts or architecture course we will ask to see a portfolio of your work that we will assess as part of your application. We typically ask for a digital portfolio, that is a selection of your work or pictures of your work that we can look at online. It could be 15–20 images or a show reel if you are applying to a music or animation course for example. We'll send you advice and guidance once you've applied to us, including how to submit your portfolio to us on Student View. Find out if your course needs a portfolio at www.brighton.ac.uk/portfolio, and tap through to the course page for specific guidance on format, platforms and the work we’d like to see.
