Glasgow School of Art Interview

Hi everyone. I did my interview for Glasgow School of Art Painting and Printmaking two days ago and got an offer yesterday. I thought I'd post the questions they asked me here as I would have found it really helpful to prepare for before the interview. It was a bit of a blur so I am just paraphrasing what I can remember.

- Why do you want to go do Painting and Printmaking at Glasgow?
- Tell us about one of the pieces in your portfolio.
- How has your use of materials developed in your work?
- Have you read any books or films that have influenced you recently?

That's so exciting, congratulations! I'm surprised the turnaround was so fast, and I'm stressing a little since I haven't heard back from them about an interview yet.. I sent my portfolio for BA Interaction Design in 2 weeks ago, and was expecting to hear about an interview mid-Feb. I also thought they only gave offers in May but that's fantastic you already received one! I'm assuming it might vary between departments but fingers crossed I'll hear back soon..

Thank you for your help with the interview questions! I have a friend doing Sculpture and Environmental Art who applied there last year and was given an unconditional offer to second year, but she didn't have much advice for the interview.

Someone else I know has also applied for the same course as you, so I guess it would be useful to know - when did you submit your portfolio/statement and how quickly did they invite you for interview?

Hi, even though you weren’t asking me just thought I’d help by answering as I’ve applied to painting too! I sent my folio+statement away on the 22nd of jan and got an invite to interview on the 25th.

Is it the same 4 questions they ask for P&P interview?

Hi! Congrats! I was wondering if you had any advice of how you tackled the use of materials question?

Hi, I’ve applied to GSA and I have my interview coming up. Do you have any advice? I’ve applied to do sculpture and environmental art but I assume that the interview’s will be quite similar.
