Portfolio advice for BA Make-Up & Hair Design applicants

Portfolio Requirements

For the BA (Hons) Make-Up & Hair Design degree, we’re looking for up to 12 to 20 examples of your current work, that showcases your level and range of achievements. 
 
Your portfolio should represent your interests and skills and should contain selected course work and the final outcomes of visual research. We like to see a well presented and edited selection of relevant course work that shows: 

• Your visual abilities
• Evidence of your own interests and inspirations outside your coursework that shows your personal passion for your subject 

If it's not possible to bring your work in physical form, then the best thing to do is to save it (or photos of it) to a USB stick, as well as on the laptop/tablet you'll be bringing to your applicant day. Please make sure the work on your USB stick is not password protected, as we may ask you to leave it with us so we can review your portfolio without you present. 

You'll be invited to share your work with the course team at an Applicant Day. Our Admissions Team will invite you to book your place at one of our Applicant Days after you have applied. 

Use of AI 

Your portfolio must contain your own work. We understand that some of your portfolio may include work created in part or whole by AI. You must acknowledge this by adding ‘AI generated’ to the relevant section(s), stating how you used AI to create images, and adding a link to the original image with the date it was created (where possible).
