Central Saint Martins Foundation 16/17

Hello, I am doing Foundation at CSM at the moment (Graphic Communication Pathway) and I have to say it's tough, but you'll definitely love it. They give you weekly projects for Part 1 and 2 and for Part 3 (which is the stage i'm at) is a project which you write for yourself. It could get really stressful at times, because of the nature of the course (fast paced and intensive) but you'll meet lots of amazing artists and designers and get to use an amazing library for research.

For your portfolio, put a wide range of pieces - they don't like looking at pieces which are limited in media (for example putting 20 images of paintings). Make sure to include some pages of how you work - the process and the realisation of the project are important!

The interview is pretty chilled - you just go into the room and put down your portfolio. They look at it, and you might get an interview. If your work speaks for itself, you might just get an offer straight after!

Best of Luck with your application!!! x

I thought you just have to leave your portfolio at am and collect it later in the afternoon? Do they go through your portfolio infront of you?
