Animation and Games Art interviews

Find out everything you need to know about your Animation and Games Art interview.

How to prepare

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 are still developing work – we are interested in your creative potential.

Your portfolio

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.

If you are applying for more than one course, make sure your portfolio demonstrates work relevant to both/all.

To upload your portfolio, please log into your myApplication portal to view any outstanding actions and navigate to the checklist section. Here you will have the option to upload a document.

Please contact admissions@sunderland.ac.uk for further portfolio guidance.

Next steps

We'll email you with the outcome of your interview and you'll also be able to view this decision on your myApplication portal and UCAS Hub.

If you have a query about your application, please contact admissions@sunderland.ac.uk.

You'll also be invited to attend some on-campus applicant days to meet other applicants from Art and Design courses and take part in some workshops and taster sessions to give you an insight of what it's like to be a student at the University of Sunderland.
