View information about how to get to the campus.
Blue Badge holders will need to contact the St Mary’s University Reception team at reception@stmarys.ac.uk to reserve a Disabled Parking space in advance of the interview date.
We ask that you bring your portfolio with you, as you will have an opportunity to discuss it with a member of the Creative Production team during the interview. There are also opportunities on these days to meet the whole academic team and other students already on the programme, and to tour the facilities.
Portfolio guidance
Please prepare a portfolio to bring to your audition day. It can include:
- design and technical work you have done for theatre or live events
- art projects
- graphics
- costume work
- anything else that gives us an insight into your creative work.
This does not need to be a formal portfolio you can bring photos, drawings, and sketches – what is most important is that we can see evidence of your work so that we can make an assessment. Please bring this with you to your audition day.
