After researching fashion design courses at the UCAS fair in manchester and the LLF Craft cluster day I decided to apply to four universities, Westminster, Southampton Solent and UAL's London College of Fashion (LLF) and Central Saint Martins (CSM), all fashion design based courses ranging from womenswear design to bespoke tailoring.
The application process had to be completed and sent to UCAS by the 15th January including a finished personal statement, university choices, educational history, results and a reference from our tutors.
In the past week I've been contacted by three of the universities asking for a portfolio to be submitted by post or online all for the 8th February. Each university asked for slightly different work in the portfolios but all showing creativity, experimentation, research, analysis, subject knowledge and technical competence.
Westminster asked for the completion of a questionnaire testing my knowledge on the fashion industry and how designers are influence from different sources, along with six A4 pieces of work. 
Southampton Solent asked for a portfolio to be emailed to them containing 15 images of work and an essay with a creative theme.
CSM asked for 10 boards to be uploaded to a online album on flickr, three research, three development illustrations, two final illustrations and two boards of other work showing creativity. 
I decided to create a election of boards to be used in all portfolios tot show the development process from research to final designs of my work I'm producing now to be sent off with other work fulling the criteria asked for by each university.
Now all three portfolios have been completed, sent and received I can now concentrate on preparing my physical portfolio for an interview for LLF on the 25th February.
