Applicants for postgraduate study should normally hold a first degree or diploma, either in fine art or in a related subject.  At interview, candidates are required to bring a portfolio containing photographic documentation of their work (or image files on a CD), along with drawings and sketchbooks if they have these.  Interviewees are also asked to bring a written statement, outlining their 'plan of work'  for the course, which will form the basis of their study.
