UCL Media BA (Undergraduate) 2025 Application
Hi all! I'm in the process of applying for the UCL Media undergraduate course for 2025. My predicted grade is a Distinction, which is awarded by UAL. However, I'm feeling a bit uncertain about how to create a portfolio, as well as my personal statement. I'm worried that if my personal statement isn't as strong as my portfolio, it might be an issue. Do you have any tips or advice for personal statement and portfolio or anything about the course?

I have a feeling the same is going to happen to me lol I have a video essay and music video to submit but not sure what else to submit🥲what are you submitting?

Hi, does anyone know how high of the standard the portfolio should be? I'm starting to do it a bit late so I'm worried if my portfolio is not strong enough.

should we help each other with this?
I just found guidelines from the ucl website:
What should I include?
Up to 6 items representing a variety of your work and approaches. These will need to be uploaded as a PDF file or provided as an online web site link. Media files can be uploaded on Vimeo, YouTube, Soundcloud, Google drive and provided as a link on your PDF document or embedded in your web site. Portfolio uploads should not be larger than 450MB.
Tips for portfolio
The thing is, I don't know how much of my work is enough. And I don't actually have a lot of work to showcase

Hi everyone,
I submitted my application a while ago, but when I log in to Portico, it still says “Application Received.” It hasn’t changed for some time now. Should I be worried about this? Has anyone experienced the same thing? I’d really appreciate any advice or information
