I don’t know even how I would word the question? Like how do I tell them I don’t understand what they want from me

I’ve just sent them a email. I wish they had examples of other portfolios.

The reason that universities often don’t provide examples is because unfortunately when they do applicants mimic the content/structure of the example instead of considering how best to present their own work

That's true, it can lead to applicants all doing the same thing; however for those who don't have access to a decent teacher or lecturer to give helpful advice about the portfolio, I put together a video of examples of successful applicants to my degrees - the video has a lot of advice about what work to put in your portfolio that should be correct for the majority of courses (obviously check in case Edinburgh has particulalry avant garde experimental requirements)
