MA Design at University of Sunderland

Entry requirements

We usually require a good honours degree (2:1 or above) in a design-related discipline such as graphics, illustration, animation, or digital media. You may also be considered if you have relevant experience and can demonstrate your suitability for the course. Portfolio requirements; We'd like to see evidence of your creative potential. You'll be expected to prepare a portfolio of your creative work which shows what you have done so far and what interests you. We're not looking for perfection as we appreciate you're still developing work. Your portfolio should be a PowerPoint presentation, ZIP file or links to websites or videos. Here are some of our top tips: Remember it's about quality not quantity – aim for between 10-20 pieces of your work. Display a range of styles and techniques. Show us work completed in or outside of your studies. Include ideas that didn't work. Demonstrate your research, for example, design sheets or sketchbooks/scrapbooks of things that inspire you. Include photographs of 3D or large 2D work. We also like to see uncompleted or work in progress.
