Welcome from your Head of School
The creative world is changing. Creative practice is no longer just about making work or telling stories, it is about understanding the market and developing our identity and brand.
As a creative community with great heritage, our School is preparing students for this new landscape through the provision of education, knowledge and choices. Arrive here and the first thing we will ask you is what do you want to do when you leave? We are opening up an entire world that takes you on a journey. You will be empowered, challenged, developed. You will discover your voice. Everyone wants to employ people who can think.
We are excited to meet you at one of our upcoming interview days, see examples of your work and hear the ideas that inspired it. In turn, we hope that you will feel inspired by our creative community.
Angus Pryor, Head of School of Arts, Culture and Environment
Your interview
Our first tip is to start getting your thoughts together now – think about your interests and why you are passionate about this subject and the industry. We want you to be excited and to do well in your interview, so remember we’re on your side and we won’t be asking you any trick questions! Good luck.
Essential information
Our Interview Days are designed to offer you a snapshot of what it is like to study at the University of Gloucestershire, so it’s not just about the interview we want you to view our facilities, get involved in a workshop, interactive session or lecture, meet with our academic teams, chat with current students, tour the campus and visit the accommodation you may be living in. Please note that although you are asked to register for 12pm your interview time will be allocated on the day and expect to be with us for the afternoon. We also welcome parents/guests to our interview day and hold a special Q&A for them whilst you are attending your interview. The interview is designed to be very supportive and relaxed. You will get a chance to learn more about the course and see student work.
You will be sent an email with important details and information about your interview. Please read this through carefully.
If you have any questions or require more information about your interview, please contact our admissions team on 03330 141414 or email [email protected].
We want you to show us your ideas, enthusiasm and potential. Do your research – come prepared with some knowledge about the industry. We’d like to hear about who inspires you and also about your future plans and ambitions. We will look at your portfolio of work, if you have one, but remember, you are the most important part of the interview. We don’t just want to look at what you’ve created, we want to get a feel for how you communicate and think.
What we may ask you?
• Why are you passionate about what you do?
• Tell us about your aspirations and motivations
• How do you think our course could help you achieve your goals?

We’ll also want to find about your work:

• What’s happening in the industry?

We want to hear about your ideas, influences and aspirations, so bring anything that demonstrates these. This could include a portfolio of your creative work. If you don’t have this, don’t worry – just bring yourself, your ideas and your enthusiasm.
How to send us your digital portfolio?
