    I applied for graphic design and have received nothing beyond the confirmation email. :/
    thats pretty normal, the sheer amount of people that apply for these universities, they only have one team of people used to get in contact... fear not

    Yup, I've got the same!

    What work are you planning to take to the interview? I was going to take my photographic portfolios (2, I have a commercial one for my job and a 'research book') as well as a couple of videos I have made on my iPad. I don't have any sketchbooks or anything because I've not studied art.

    Good luck! Might see you there!

    I'm taking an A2 portfolio consisting mainly of photographs of my work (storyboards and large works etc..) and relevant visual journals and development work along with a Show-reel of moving image and sound work attached on a disk.

    I'm doing a foundation at the moment, Where were you working / studying before?

    I'm studying Art History with the Open University at the moment. Last year when I interviewed for photography degrees they turned me down on the basis that it's nearly ten years since I had studied and I couldn't prove to them that I could cope with the level of academic work. I'm also working as a full time commercial photographer in London, so hopefully this year is the year I get accepted to a degree!

    Do you have your showreel online?

    Sounds like you've had a busy year, and you've seem to have put yourself in good stead for this year, congrats!

    Where else are you applying?

    Well I don't have a flickr account or blog etc, but I'm currently working on a website that should be near to completion in a few weeks, I'll send you the link when I launch the site :] How about yourself?
