when did u send off your kingston portfolio, i sent mine off at the beginning of december and just want to know already if ive got an interview, i guess im being impatient though. also was there any important info on the pages where u uploaded ur portfolio, cos i was in a rush and had to speed thru without actually reading anything :/
I sent it on the 9th. Nope, It just looked like a standard form they used for any online portfolio from what I can remember.

Hi :smile:
I've applied for 2 photog courses at falmouth, marine + natural history, and press + editorial photog. I've sent off both e portfolios+ written statements which I really struggled with! and I'm waiting for a response, pretty scared! Falmouths my top choice, but I've applied to Nottingham Trent, Bournemouth and uwe too. Good luck everyone :smile:

Yeah I got a reply off the person you send your applications to yesterday afternoon saying it's been forwarded to the course team and they'll get back to me in a few weeks. Really impatient! Have you heard anything from NTU or Bournemouth?

Yeah! I got that email this morning, feels like ages to wait for a reply. And all I've had from Bournemouth is an aknowledgement of application, and nothing from NTU but one of my friends didn't get an aknowledgement they just got invited to an interview after a couple of weeks. But I'm not too worried they haven't responded yet as its been Christmas break.

I applied to Falmouth also in the hopes of being accepted onto either the Marine and Natural History Photography course or Photography. They've acknowleged my application and say I'm currently on step 4 where they want me to send in an e portfolio, then after that maybe be considered for an interview. They sent me both letters just before Christmas but told me not to do anything yet as they will email me with details about how to send it in? I've been waiting weeks and haven't received an email yet. Should I wait a little longer or get in contact? Or should I have sent it off already? I know it's been the Christmas period but Cumbria have offered me an interview also so I was expecting a reply from Falmouth by now. Probably me being stupid but I'm dying to go to Falmouth!
No from BCU! Ah well :tongue: DMU and UWE interviews to come! :smile:

Hmmm, I probably got the email a similar time to you. I'd email them now if I were you just to check, if you haven't got an email saying what they're expecting you to send in and mention that you need to have sent it within two weeks then maybe you don't need to have done anything as of yet. I'd email just to make sure if I were you really. :smile:

Glad this thread has become useful :smile:

I ended up applying to:
-Nottingham Trent
-Manchester Met
-Kingston
-Northumbria
-UCLan
and my college finally sent my application off this week, a month after I sent them it! So just waiting now...

could someone who's applied to MMU tell me how many photos they ask for on the online portfolio? just preparing myself for if I do get asked for online portfolios
and also, how long do the unis usually give you to get your online portfolios done and sent to them?

I got an interview at Falmouth too! So, so nervous! I found out that my friend who is doing the same course as me at college has got the same time and date for the interview too, so it'll be nice to have someone there for familiarity. I'm nervous too! I think everyone will be since it's such a popular course with high competition. Where abouts are you travelling from? :smile:

Ooer, does that mean there will be two people to an interview? Or do you mean for a different course? Yeah, Falmouth is one of my top choices, so I really want to do well. I'm in the West Midlands so it's like a 6 hour drive down! What about you? What are you doing about bringing in work? As I remember at the open day one of the course tutors said to bring "everything but the kitchen sink" so I'm thinking that's a lot of work to bring, but then in the letter it says to make it simple, so my initial thought was to make a photobook but it might work out expensive. Too many things to think about! :tongue: ah dear
