Anyone else applied to here/ I've an interview for Fashion Promotion and tbh im ******* myself, havnt got a portfolio done and dont really know what to expect tbh.

[emmalou_x]

I had an interview a month ago and found out last week i have an unconditional to study fashion promotion (: The interview is really not as bad as you're expecting. I was so nervous and didn't knwo what to think, but it's really short, really relaxed, just one on one and while you're waiting you have to do a small bit of written analysis. It's perfectly fine. But it is best to put together a small collection of work, even if it's some written work and a couple of mood boards, just so they have something to look at. Good Luck!

I had an interview about a month ago too.. I agree with emmalou its not as bad as you think it will be, I study music at the mo so I wasn't too sure what to put in my portfolio but I made a couple of mood board/collage type things and I included bits of my written work, the guy who interviewed me was really chatty and it was more like a getting to know you conversation than an interview..
As long as you show how much you want to do the subject you should be fine..
Good luck..x

I've applied here too, had my interview and got my offer am gonna be doing creative arts for theatre and film.
I was absolutely terrified at the interview but it was fine it all went really quickly and they were really nice about it.

I turned the interview down in the end up, didnt have any work at all so thought there was no point . good luck at uni guys

HIYA!!... im winnie and i just made an account JUST to reply to this post...... i got interveiwed a couple of months ago and now im in the process of finding accomodation, they wer so nice and its such a little cosy campus. Are people trying to get accomodation in doust way?

[winwinng]

mdonoghey:

you shouldnt of turned the uni down cos im doing biology, psychology, economics and maths....i had NOO work to show them, but i just typed up a few things n attemted some photography. the lady that interveiwed me really didnt mind, she said it showed that i have determination to make everything outside my studies...but SERIOUSLY it was a total piece of crap..i was so embaressed...... its more about what u say

another general point:
- i applied for fashion promotion
- its my firm
-i am really sh**ing it for accomodation because im scared i wont get uni accomodation n ill have to shares a house with ppl i duno....so i though ill make sum friends now xD

[emmamoss]

[laura-said]

I got an offer through to fashion promotion!!!!
pleasantly surprised really
is Rochester ur first choice?
I sooooo sooooooo much want to go Epsom to study fashion journalism but Rochester is my 2nd choice (Y) xxxxxx

[ADeans]

Heeey
sorry to drop in I have a interview at Rochester next week..
Just starting to panic with my portfolio now , started it from scratch and just wondered what sort of things I should put in?
It's my first choice so I'm so nervous just want to make a good impression! Hope someone can help
xx

[laura-said]

awh I know the feeling!!!
Don't panic though, the interview is ok
Errrmmm I'd say put a bit of everything in because fashion promotion is such a broad course everything from styling, to writing, drawing or mood boards etc would be fine (Y) That's the kinda thing I had in mine (minus the drawing though!) What have u got atm in ur portfolio? xxxxx

[ADeans]

Aww thank you
Well I have a fashion blog so I printed a bit of that out, just some writing on market research for music and some like designer profiles. Got a few moodboards and just little bits and bobs after that. Just hoping that is enough. Have you had a offer from there? Is it nice? I Can't wait to see it. Would love to be able to travel to London alot aswell. Sounds the perfect combonation. xxx
