Cardiff University Portfolio for Architecture

I'm applying for Architecture (Undergraduate) at Cardiff University and they require a portfolio during submission. On their website they give a vague description of what they'd like (e.g. drawings, photographs, ceramics)

I take Art A-Level so I have the content, but I'm not sure how much to send in. Should I use PowerPoint? And if so, how many slides should it be?

Any advice would be helpful! :smile:

Unis usually send guidance once they send the request for your portfolio together with the date when it needs to be submitted. Have you received this?

May i ask how long you had to wait for the university to get back to you asking for the portfolio, cause im currently still waiting for them to send me details about it (like deadline).
Hi there!

Unfortunately I have no guidance on this but can try to chase it up if it's still an issue? In the mean time, please feel free to send me any Cardiff related question and I'll do my best to answer!
All the best,

I have sent off my application (around a month ago) but I haven't been asked for my portfolio. I have logged in to the e-portal that I was given when I applied and discovered that there is a place to upload my portfolio - do I have to wait for the admissions to ask for my portfolio or should I just upload it to the portfolio?

I would recommend asking admissions just to double check! Do you have their contact, or would you like me to share their email for you? :smile:
