Please note that browsers sometimes change how they operate, so please refer to your browser help files to find their latest information.
How do I turn off animations?

Great news, we’ve made you an offer and would now like to invite you to submit a digital portfolio for our BA (Hons) Product Design course (UCAS code W241)

Visit our website to find out more about studying at the Leeds School of Arts.

To make your portfolio stand out, we’re looking for evidence of creativity and design skills. We understand that you may not have studied a design related course before, but we would like to see a range of development and finished work which may include sketches, drawings, paintings, collage or mixed media, photography, sculpture, models or product design.

We want to see how you have explored a given brief and how the work has developed, so your portfolio can also include work from sketchbooks.
