I am in year 13 and I take Maths, Textiles and Psychology. I want to take a graphic design course at uni next year. I am a bit stressed right now because of the portfolio, since I don't take graphics at a level I was wondering if it is even possible I can take this course next year with the courses I take at the moment. Could someone please give me advice? I'd prefer to start the course at uni next year but I also want to get in lol. should I take a foundation or what? help T-T thanks!

Apply for a foundation too, and then see what happens (also, there is a massive difference between going to university at 18 and at 19, so my regret is being in too much of a hurry, I wish I had taken an art foundation and done a bit of growing up first!).
Personally I like to see a textiles portfolio from architecture applicants - taking something 1D and making it 2D, taking something 2D and making it 3D - is as close as you can get to architecture at A’level (in the UK). But I don’t know whether graphics lecturers will see it the same way!

Are you doing any pattern design/screen printing as part of your textiles course?
Could you include any typography themes/research in any of your projects?
What about putting together a website or zine to house your portfolio?
There’s plenty of ways to include graphic design elements and skills in a textiles course. And if you’re not successful in getting into a BA course directly then taking a foundation diploma post A level is incredibly common (and helpful) for anyone wanting to study a creative subject.
