You need to submit a portfolio of work as part of your application to study at AUT for the following art and design qualifications:Before you submit your art portfolio
- Apply to enrol at AUT University. Do this online or by submitting your application form (We give you a student ID number once you have applied, and you need to include your ID number with your portfolio).
- We will not review portfolios that do not have an AUT student ID number.
We will accept late applications if there are places available.
What to include in your portfolio
- 12 to 24 images/photos of your work that are compatible with the major(s) for which you are applying, such as Fashion, Digital Design, Graphic Design, Product Design, Spatial Design, Textile Design or Visual Arts
- A short cover letter that outlines your background and achievements. Include this letter as the first page of your portfolio.
- Include working drawings where available
- Ensure your portfolio includes your best work (because you cannot re-submit or update your portfolio)
- Submit only 1 portfolio (regardless of how many courses or programmes you apply for). All programmes applied for will review your portfolio.
- Original work – instead, send us photos or copies of your work. (You can always bring original work to your interview)
