Preparing for Your Interview

What do I need to do before my audition?

If attending an in person audition please select and prepare 2 audition pieces:

• Piece 1: 1.30-2.00-minute audition monologue, taken from a contemporary play, ideally written from 2010 onwards. You will need to have memorised it and rehearsed it as a performance audition. You will share this with us on the day.
• Piece 2: 1.30-2.00-minute monologue of your choosing from any time period. As well as a play, the monologue can be from TV/Film (But avoid hugely well-known monologues/characters – we want to audition you, not your impersonation of another actor!). This piece will be workshopped on the day.

Online

If you cannot make it in-person you can request online. Before you are allocated an audition date, you'll need to send us video recordings of your 2 audition pieces as above. Once we have received it, we'll book a time and date for your interview.

• Try and ensure the place in which you record the audition pieces is as clear as possible.
• Please upload the video to Vimeo or YouTube as either one or two separate files and submit the link through the Applicant Portal.

How can I prepare for my audition?

• Read the whole play/script beforehand.
• Get on your feet and rehearse your monologues, out loud and in a space, before your audition.
• Know what has happened to the character, where they are, and who they are speaking to.
• Think about what makes Acting the subject you want to study. What excites you about the industry and performing?
• Be honest in your UCAS statement (and avoid including any quotes…we want to hear from you, not someone else).
• If you are unsure about any aspect of the audition, then please do get in contact. It’s your audition after all.

Remember, the audition is your chance to find out all you need to know to make an informed decision about your creative future. It is important that you get a feel for whether Falmouth is the right place for you, so please be prepared to ask as many questions as you need to. We recommend you familiarise yourself with the information on the BA(Hons) Acting course page and the AMATA website.

What are you looking for in a successful applicant?

A successful applicant will be able to evidence their skills, their enthusiasm and commitment to their subject according to the following criteria:

Following the interview and assessment of your portfolio (or equivalent) the Course Team will consider whether your chosen course will likely suit your needs as a student. In some cases they may consider an alternative course more appropriate based on your conversation or the work within your portfolio. Examples where this might happen include:

• Where the conversation/portfolio suggests your academic interest might be better suited by an alternative course (e.g. you apply for BA(Hons) Photography, but your interest and portfolio have a strong focus on fashion and may align closely with BA(Hons) Fashion Photography).
• Where the conversation/portfolio suggests that you may need more time to develop your academic interests and/or technical skills in the subject in order to succeed on your chosen award. In this instance we may offer you a four-year honours degree course that includes an integrated foundation year. This is sometimes the case where students have not had sufficient time to practice relevant creative skills as part of their compulsory education or wish to switch to a creative route.
• Where you have applied for a four-year honours degree course that includes an integrated foundation year but the conversation/portfolio suggests a depth of understanding/skills that suggest the three year honours degree course would be more appropriate for your needs.

All interviewed applicants can request feedback and, if we choose to offer you a different course to the one you applied for we will explain our rationale.

What do I need to do before my interview?

How can I prepare for my interview?

We want to hear about your motivations for applying for the course as well as understanding more about your interests and experiences.  It would be great to spend some time thinking about the following three questions – and remember this is not a test, and there isn’t a right or wrong answer – the questions are designed to start a conversation about how the course aligns with your skills, attributes and ambitions for the future.  Here are the three questions:

1. ‘What interests you about the course?’

2. ‘Considering your range of experiences, skills, attributes and interests - why do you think that this course at Falmouth University is a good fit for you?’

3. ‘What job/industry do you want to enter after university and what do you think the term ‘sustainability’ means in this job/industry?

What will happen at my interview?

We will discuss your thoughts on the three prepared questions and spend some time talking about the course and answering any questions that you may have.  This will all be very relaxed and conversational and one of the real positives about the interview is that you can be confident that you are well-informed and will feel ready and able to take the next step in your university journey.

What do I need to do before my interview?

There is nothing specific you need to do before your interview with us.

How can I prepare for my interview?

Though it's important that you do some coding before you arrive, so that you know whether or not you like it, we teach our students from the very foundations of the computing discipline. So, you don't need to have much prior experience of computer programming before joining us. However, if you do have experience, then we'd love to see your work. You don't need to submit any materials to us in advance. Instead, make materials available online and direct us to them during the interview itself. The free video and repository hosting services provided by YouTube and GitHub are recommended. As a suggestion, you could provide one video of a project that you have worked on alongside one source code excerpt.

The best candidates will showcase projects that are relevant to their chosen area of focus and which they've pursued beyond the school context to demonstrate their passion and dedication. Avoid showcasing mark-up (e.g., XML, HTML) as tutors are more interested in any coding experience you might have (e.g. Python, Java, C, C#, C++, etc.). We're aware that many applicants will not have had the opportunity to study computing in a formal educational setting and so will likely be self-taught. As such, we do not evaluate the size or quality of your projects. We're simply exploring your interests and what excites you.

What will happen at my interview?

If you have applied for the three-year version of the course:

During your interview you'll be asked about your understanding of computing and what professionals do. You’ll be asked to signpost your mathematics qualifications and, if you are applying for a Bachelor’s of Science, to confirm your level of comfort with mathematics.

You’ll get to play a game, which will help you to demonstrate your computational thinking and problem-solving skills. You'll then be asked to illustrate your motivation to study computing which will include an opportunity for you to show us your work, though it's optional to do so. We will then discuss Falmouth’s group working strategy and collaborative learning environment to ensure it aligns with your expectations about teamwork and that you understand the obligations you’ll have as a member of a team.

You'll then have the opportunity to ask any questions.

Your interview will take place either in-person, online or at a regional location with a member of the course team at a scheduled time. It will last around 30 minutes.

If you have applied for the three-year version with Integrated Foundation Year:

You will not be required to interview.

What do I need to do before my interview?

If you are attending in person, you’ll need to bring your portfolio with you. Keep it simple, we recommend choosing the 3 projects or pieces of work that you are most proud of and come prepared to show and tell. If you don't have a suitable portfolio then you can choose to answer one of our Falmouth Creative Projects instead in the form of a powerpoint presentation (max 5 slides).

If you have opted for an online interview, before allocating you an interview date, you will need to send us a link to your online portfolio. If you don't have a suitable portfolio then you can choose to answer one of our Falmouth Creative Projects instead in the form of a portfolio.

How can I prepare for my interview?

Reflect on and think about how your portfolio or response to the Falmouth Creative Projects relates to your interest in studying Creative Advertising. Bring any notes, if you like, to help you along.

We'd also like to hear from you details of any school/college project or work experience that you might have done before, what you learnt or any relevant skills you feel you have picked up. This is also a chance for you to elaborate on details you might have mentioned in your personal statement.

The interview is very much a two-way street. So we expect you may have questions for us about the course.

We recommend you consider any further questions you may have and familiarise yourself with the information on the BA(Hons) Creative Advertising course page.

• Where you have applied for a four-year honours degree course that includes an integrated foundation year but the conversation/portfolio suggests a depth of understanding/skills that suggest the three year honours degree course would be more appropriate for your needs.

All interviewed applicants can request feedback and, if we choose to offer you a different course to the one you applied for we will explain our rationale.

What do I need to do before my interview?

One of the main benefits of the interview is that you have the opportunity to speak to a member of the course team to really make sure that the course is right for you.  To help this, prior to the interview we would like you to make sure that you have read the information on the course page and made notes about any questions that you might have about the course in general, any of the individual modules, or any specific aspects of the student experience such as assessment methods or teaching and learning approach.

How can I prepare for my interview?

We want to hear about your motivations for applying for the course as well as understanding more about your interests and experiences.  It would be great to spend some time thinking about the following three questions – and remember this is not a test, and there isn’t a right or wrong answer – the questions are designed to start a conversation about how the course aligns with your skills, attributes and ambitions for the future.  Here are the three questions:

1. ‘What interests you about the course?’

2. ‘Considering your range of experiences, skills, attributes and interests - why do you think that this course at Falmouth University is a good fit for you?’

3. ‘What job/industry do you want to enter after university and what do you think the term ‘sustainability’ means in this job/industry?

What will happen at my interview?

We will discuss your thoughts on the three prepared questions and spend some time talking about the course and answering any questions that you may have.  This will all be very relaxed and conversational and one of the real positives about the interview is that you can be confident that you are well-informed and will feel ready and able to take the next step in your university journey.

What will happen at my interview?

In-person

If you've chosen an afternoon interview, we'll email you comprehensive details a week before the scheduled date. On the day, simply follow the signs for registration. Your interview day will include a 30-minute individual interview and the option to attend various sessions. All candidates should arrive together, and you'll receive your interview slot during the Welcome talk. Plan to spend around 2-3 hours in the Department to participate in sessions, familiarise yourself with the Department and University, chat with student ambassadors or support services, and take a tour of our facilities and campus.

If you have opted for a morning interview, we'll email you comprehensive details a week before the scheduled date. On the day, simply follow the signs for registration. Your individual interview lasts for 30 minutes but we advise you allow time before and after your interview time so you can have a chat with our staff, student ambassadors or any of our support services and have a campus tour.

Online

We'll send you full details a week before via email. You'll be welcomed by a student ambassador, who you'll have around 15 minutes to chat with before they virtually take you into your interview with a member of the course team.

Your interview will take place online with a member of the course team at the time given in the Applicant Portal, it'll last around 20-30 minutes. You'll have the opportunity to ask any questions and you can chat to our current students online using our Ask a Student page.

What are you looking for in a successful applicant?

A successful applicant will be able to evidence their skills, their enthusiasm and commitment to their subject according to the following criteria:

Following the interview and assessment of your portfolio (or equivalent) the Course Team will consider whether your chosen course will likely suit your needs as a student. In some cases they may consider an alternative course more appropriate based on your conversation or the work within your portfolio. Examples where this might happen include:

• Where the conversation/portfolio suggests your academic interest might be better suited by an alternative course (e.g. you apply for BA(Hons) Photography, but your interest and portfolio have a strong focus on fashion and may align closely with BA(Hons) Fashion Photography).
• Where the conversation/portfolio suggests that you may need more time to develop your academic interests and/or technical skills in the subject in order to succeed on your chosen award. In this instance we may offer you a four-year honours degree course that includes an integrated foundation year. This is sometimes the case where students have not had sufficient time to practice relevant creative skills as part of their compulsory education or wish to switch to a creative route.
• Where you have applied for a four-year honours degree course that includes an integrated foundation year but the conversation/portfolio suggests a depth of understanding/skills that suggest the three year honours degree course would be more appropriate for your needs.

All interviewed applicants can request feedback and, if we choose to offer you a different course to the one you applied for we will explain our rationale.

What do I need to do before my interview?

Relax! Please think of the interview as a chat – we want to make sure we are the right fit for you as much as we are making sure you are the right fit for our programme.

It can be helpful if you are able to talk about books/media you have enjoyed and what type of writing you like to do.

How can I prepare for my interview?

Please read the information under 'What are you looking for in a successful applicant?' as it will help you prepare for the interview and understand how we assess your potential.

We'd also like you to start to think about the following questions that we will be asking you in your interview. We don't expect you to have memorised your answers to these, but it would be good if you could do some research and start to think about your answers before the day:

• Which module are you most excited about and what would be your contribution? (please see the 'What you'll learn' section of the course page on the Falmouth University website for details of the modules).
• What have you seen or read that has changed your way of thinking – this may or may not include books/films etc. that you have studied.

What do I need to do before my interview?

If you are attending an in person audition, please come prepared with the following:

• In advance of your practical audition create 1-2 minutes of movement material that reflects how you like to move. You will share this with us on the day. Practice it so you are confident about the qualities and the timing. The movement material should be created by you and should not be to music. You don’t need to be experienced at making your own dances, just plan something that makes you feel good and reflects something about yourself.

If you have chosen online, you’ll need to record and upload a link of the following:

• Please record 1-2 minutes of movement material. Use music if you like.
• Try and ensure the place in which you record the movement is as clear as possible.

Please upload video footage of your prepared movement material to Vimeo or YouTube and submit the link through the Applicant Portal. Once you have done this, we will allocate you an audition slot.

How can I prepare for my interview?

• Create movement material that reflects how you like to move and practice it (in the space in which you will record it if submitting online). The work you upload needs to show you, clearly, performing a dance work or series of short dance works created by or for you.
• Think about what makes Dance & Choreography the subject you want to study.
• Which dancers/choreographers have influenced you and why?
• What dance performances have you seen?
• What questions do you have for us?
• Be honest in your UCAS statement (and avoid including extended quotes; we want to hear from you, not someone else).
• If you're unsure about any aspect of the audition/interview then please do get in touch.

Remember, the interview and audition day is your chance to find out all you need to know to make an informed decision about your creative future. It is important that you get a feel for whether Falmouth is the right place for you, so please be prepared to ask as many questions as you need to. We recommend you familiarise yourself with the information on the BA(Hons) Dance & Choreography course page and the AMATA website.

At AMATA we are committed to ensuring every applicant and student feels included, valued and respected. We want to encourage applicants from all regions and groups within society as the courses strive to celebrate what individuals have to offer.

Upload your portfolio online and send us a single link (the link needs to be accessible without a username or password or specific software) through the Applicant Portal. Once we have received it, we will then book a time and date for your interview.

Your portfolio can include any work you feel shows off your experience with either digital production, live streaming, or relevant practice in an Esports context. The portfolio can take the form of a personal website, a written document with images, or PowerPoint slide deck showcasing past work. This could include links to archived streams that you have worked on, any form of video or a digital media project that showcases some technical skills or content production experience or could be a written account of Esports events that you have helped to organise or broadcast. You don't need to have worked in an Esports context before to do well on the interview but it's useful to show any examples where you have collaborated as a team to produce something or have worked in a similar context that involves media/video production or event organisation in some capacity.

We are aware that many applicants will not have had the opportunity to study Esports in a formal educational setting. As such, we do not evaluate the size or quality of your projects. We're simply exploring your interests and what excites you.

If you don't have a suitable portfolio, you can choose to apply in the form of the presentation. The form of the presentation is up to you but can be one of the following:

• A presentation using PowerPoint or similar demonstrating your interest and plans for studying Esports at Higher Education.
• A plan for creating and broadcasting Esports (or other games and media) content using a live streaming platform (such as Twitch).

How can I prepare for my interview?

• Familiarise yourself with the Games Academy, its courses and teaching philosophy.
• Familiarise yourself with your specialism and notable games which encompass it.
• Familiarise yourself with relevant tools such as OBS screen capture software, streaming platforms such as YouTube and Twitch.

If you have a portfolio, narrow it down to that which you regard as your very best work.

Be prepared to say what kinds of events and other media inspire you and why you want to work within the Esports industry specifically.

Think about your responses to questions such as:

• What do you do in your current studies which relates to Esports and live streaming?
• What do you do outside of your current studies which relates to Esports and live streaming?
• Why do you want to take a degree in Esports?

Your interview will take place online with a member of the course team at the time given in the Applicant Portal, it'll last around 20-30 minutes. You'll have the opportunity to ask any questions and you can chat to our current students online using our Ask a Student page.

During the interview, we'll ask you about/to:

• Your experience working in teams and collaborate with others generally
• Your current understanding of Esports production, livestreaming, and content creation
• Your career interests and the potential career trajectories that you might pursue in Esports
• Draw our attention to projects or achievements that demonstrate your passion for Esports and/or your chosen area of focus
• Confirm that you understand what the course involves in terms of multidisciplinary teamwork

It is important that you recognise that the interview isn't a traditional 'interview' as such. It is an opportunity for you to have an informal discussion with us so that you can determine whether your interests align with what the Esports & Livestreaming course offers.

What are you looking for in a successful applicant?

We are seeking students with:

• A high degree of motivation to produce Esports streams and events
• Good written and verbal communication skills
• An understanding of the requirements of livestreaming and Esports production
• Willingness to work effectively in a team to achieve shared goals

To be specific, we will be looking for students who demonstrate the following attributes:

• Does the candidate understand what is required of practitioners in the context of Esports production?
• How willing is the candidate to work within a collaborative team?
• Does the candidate demonstrate good communication skills and awareness of the value of these skills?
• Does the candidate show an awareness of the requirements of livestreaming and the context of Esports?
• Does the candidate show progress in skills relevant to their degree application choice?

Following the interview and assessment of your portfolio (or equivalent) the Course Team will consider whether your chosen course will likely suit your needs as a student. In some cases they may consider an alternative course more appropriate based on your conversation or the work within your portfolio. Examples where this might happen include:

• Where the conversation/portfolio suggests your academic interest might be better suited by an alternative course (e.g. you apply for BA(Hons) Photography, but your interest and portfolio have a strong focus on fashion and may align closely with BA(Hons) Fashion Photography).
• Where the conversation/portfolio suggests that you may need more time to develop your academic interests and/or technical skills in the subject in order to succeed on your chosen award. In this instance we may offer you a four-year honours degree course that includes an integrated foundation year. This is sometimes the case where students have not had sufficient time to practice relevant creative skills as part of their compulsory education or wish to switch to a creative route.
• Where you have applied for a four-year honours degree course that includes an integrated foundation year but the conversation/portfolio suggests a depth of understanding/skills that suggest the three year honours degree course would be more appropriate for your needs.

All interviewed applicants can request feedback and, if we choose to offer you a different course to the one you applied for we will explain our rationale.

What do I need to do before my interview?

If you are attending in person, you can bring a portfolio with you if you have one but it's not essential. Use our portfolio page to help you with what to include. If you don't have a portfolio you can choose to answer one of our Falmouth Creative Projects instead in the form of a portfolio, again this is not essential.

If you have opted for an online interview, you can share a digital portfolio as part of your interview if you have one or you can choose to answer one of our Falmouth Creative Projects in the form of a portfolio instead and share that.

How can I prepare for my interview?

Think about your responses to questions such as:

- Why have you chosen to study Fashion Design at Falmouth?
- What aspect of fashion design really engages you?
- What are you looking forward to doing most on the course?
- Which artists, designers or practitioners have you found relevant to your own practice?
- What else do you get involved in, besides your current studies?

You'll be asked to select examples of your work to illustrate your answers to interview questions, providing evidence of your approach to drawing and developing ideas, and a commitment to and enthusiasm for fashion design.

• Outside of film, what have you engaged in most recently that has changed your way of thinking?

We know that Animation is not always taught at secondary level, so we do not expect you to bring any specific work to the interview. However, Animation does not start with a moving object, and your creative eye is the most valuable tool you will ever have. With this in mind, if you have any work that you think demonstrates understanding of personality and character, or if you have created any game or Film/TV projects, then please provide that in your portfolio.

Alternatively, find a piece of animation which is linked to the Creative Projects in some sort of way. This animation is something you like and consider what it is saying, and how it communicates this. Focus on the character that is expressed and then consider what gives this impression – the devil is in the detail here, so to speak. So cast your eye on the body posture, consider how they move from one position to the next, ask yourself why the animator chose to position the hand that way, or why the back is arched? Try to understand what the animator wanted to tell you and describe how they managed to portray this. Once we have received it, we will then book a time and date for your interview.

How can I prepare for my interview?

Familiarise yourself with the Games Academy, its courses and teaching philosophy. Familiarise yourself with notable artists in the games industry and the game art pipelines. Familiarise yourself with relevant tools such as Photoshop, Maya, 3DSMax, ZBrush, Unity and Unreal. If you have a portfolio, narrow it down to at most three pieces which you regard as your very best work. Be prepared to say what kinds of art inspire you and why you want to make art for the games industry specifically.

Think about your responses to questions such as:

- What do you do in your current studies which relates to Game Animation?
- What do you do outside of your current studies which relates to Game Animation?
- Why do you want to take a degree in Game Animation?

What will happen at my interview?

If you have applied for the Integrated Foundation Year version of the course:

Some of the Integrated Foundation Year (IFY) courses for the Games Academy will interview together in group interviews. Your interview will take place either in-person or online with a member of the course team at a scheduled time. It will last around 30 minutes.

Your interview will either be in a group of 5 if you attend an in-person interview, or a group of 3 if you attend an online interview. You do not need to prepare anything, and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

If you have applied for the three-year version and the Integrated Foundation Year version of the course: You will follow the three-year version of the course interview process.

In-person

What are you looking for in a successful applicant?

We are seeking students with:

- A high degree of motivation to make games

- How able is the student at communication?
- Does the student show an awareness of the requirements of their specialism in the context of making games?
- Does the student show progress in skills relevant to their degree application choice?

Following the interview and assessment of your portfolio (or equivalent) the Course Team will consider whether your chosen course will likely suit your needs as a student.

What will happen at my interview?

If you have applied for the Integrated Foundation Year version of the course:

Some of the Integrated Foundation Year (IFY) courses for the Games Academy will interview together in group interviews. Your interview will take place either in-person or online with a member of the course team at a scheduled time. It will last around 30 minutes.

Your interview will either be in a group of 5 if you attend an in-person interview, or a group of 3 if you attend an online interview. You do not need to prepare anything, and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

If you have applied for the three-year version and the Integrated Foundation Year version of the course: You will follow the three-year version of the course interview process.

In-person

We'll send you full details a week before via email. You'll need to follow the signs for registration. We'd advise you allow time before and after your interview slot so you can have a chat with our student ambassadors or any of our support services and have a campus tour. In total, you can expect to be here for around three hours. Your interview will be around 20-30 minutes long.

Online

We'll send you full details a week before via email. You'll be welcomed by a student ambassador, who you'll have around 15 minutes to chat with before they virtually take you into your interview with a member of the course team.

Your interview will take place online with a member of the course team at the time given in the Applicant Portal, it'll last around 20-30 minutes. You'll have the opportunity to ask any questions and you can chat to our current students online using our Ask a Student page.

What are you looking for in a successful applicant?

A successful applicant will be able to evidence their skills, their enthusiasm and commitment to their subject according to the following criteria:

Following the interview and assessment of your portfolio (or equivalent) the Course Team will consider whether your chosen course will likely suit your needs as a student. In some cases they may consider an alternative course more appropriate based on your conversation or the work within your portfolio. Examples where this might happen include:

• Where the conversation/portfolio suggests your academic interest might be better suited by an alternative course (e.g. you apply for BA(Hons) Photography, but your interest and portfolio have a strong focus on fashion and may align closely with BA(Hons) Fashion Photography).
• Where the conversation/portfolio suggests that you may need more time to develop your academic interests and/or technical skills in the subject in order to succeed on your chosen award. In this instance we may offer you a four-year honours degree course that includes an integrated foundation year. This is sometimes the case where students have not had sufficient time to practice relevant creative skills as part of their compulsory education or wish to switch to a creative route.
• Where you have applied for a four-year honours degree course that includes an integrated foundation year but the conversation/portfolio suggests a depth of understanding/skills that suggest the three year honours degree course would be more appropriate for your needs.

All interviewed applicants can request feedback and, if we choose to offer you a different course to the one you applied for we will explain our rationale.

We know that Game Development is not always taught at secondary level, so we do not expect you to bring any specific work to the interview. However if you have worked on something creative which you think has relevance to the courses, feel free to bring it along. If you have worked on a game as part of your course or as a passion project, then please upload a link to that, and include this within any supporting statements.

If you have a portfolio, narrow it down to at most three pieces which you regard as your very best work. Your portfolio items could include anything game related that exhibits your passion, drive and current skillset, such as:

• A review, analysis or breakdown of a game you've played.
• A game you have created or designed in any format: For example (e.g. Gamemaker, Unity or Unreal), or non-digital games such as board/card game.
• A game level or mod you've crafted using an existing game engine (e.g. CSGO, Unreal tournament, or skyrim)
• Examples of other creative game-related skills such as programming, 2D art, 3D modelling or animation.

If you don't have a suitable portfolio then you can choose to answer one of our Falmouth Creative Projects instead in the form of a portfolio. It's up to you how you present your portfolio, but it could include one of the following:

• Design Documentation which explains your concept and contains details of the functionality of app/experience/game. This should have some visuals/sketches to illustrate your idea.
• One Page Designs with Elevator Pitch. For guidance on how to construct a one page design, please watch the following - One Page Designs by Stone Librande.
• A small prototype app, experience, game or similar using tools such as Unity, Gamemaker, Renypy, twine or any game engine.

Your response should be based on your chosen programme, so for example if you want to study Games Writing, your portfolio will look at the narrative of a game or experience which addresses one of the Projects. Once we have received it, we will then book a time and date for your interview.

If you are applying for BA(Hons) Game Development: Design / Writing Integrated Foundation Year you won't need an interview.

BA(Hons) Game Development: Programming

Though it's important that you do some coding before you arrive, so that you know whether or not you like it, we teach our students from the very foundations of the computing discipline. So, you don't need to have much prior experience of computer programming before joining us. However, if you do have experience, then we'd love to see your work. You don't need to submit any materials to us in advance. Instead, make materials available online and direct us to them during the interview itself. The free video and repository hosting services provided by YouTube and GitHub are recommended. As a suggestion, you could provide one video of a project that you have worked on alongside one source code excerpt.

The best candidates will showcase projects that are relevant to their chosen area of focus and which they've pursued beyond the school context to demonstrate their passion and dedication. Avoid showcasing mark-up (e.g., XML, HTML) as tutors are more interested in any coding experience you might have (e.g. Python, Java, C, C#, C++, etc.). We're aware that many applicants will not have had the opportunity to study computing in a formal educational setting and so will likely be self-taught. As such, we do not evaluate the size or quality of your projects. We're simply exploring your interests and what excites you.

Following the interview and assessment of your portfolio (or equivalent) the Course Team will consider whether your chosen course will likely suit your needs as a student. In some cases they may consider an alternative course more appropriate based on your conversation or the work within your portfolio. Examples where this might happen include:

• Where the conversation/portfolio suggests your academic interest might be better suited by an alternative course (e.g. you apply for BA(Hons) Photography, but your interest and portfolio have a strong focus on fashion and may align closely with BA(Hons) Fashion Photography).
• Where the conversation/portfolio suggests that you may need more time to develop your academic interests and/or technical skills in the subject in order to succeed on your chosen award. In this instance we may offer you a four-year honours degree course that includes an integrated foundation year. This is sometimes the case where students have not had sufficient time to practice relevant creative skills as part of their compulsory education or wish to switch to a creative route.
• Where you have applied for a four-year honours degree course that includes an integrated foundation year but the conversation/portfolio suggests a depth of understanding/skills that suggest the three year honours degree course would be more appropriate for your needs.

All interviewed applicants can request feedback and, if we choose to offer you a different course to the one you applied for we will explain our rationale.

What do I need to do before my interview?

Before allocating you an interview date, you will need to send us a link to your online portfolio.

Please provide examples of work that range from ideas generation and progression (visual problem solving), experiments with a range of materials and processes, evidence of a drawing practice (from both observation and imagination) and finished pieces.

If you don't have a suitable portfolio then you can choose to answer one of our Falmouth Creative Projects instead in the form of a portfolio. Upload your portfolio online and send us a single link (the link needs to be accessible without a username or password or specific software) through the Applicant Portal. Once we have received it, we will then book a time and date for your interview.

You can ask the interviewer about the course and what it is like to study online.

If you have opted for an online interview, before allocating you an interview date, you will need to send us a link to your online portfolio. If you don't have a suitable portfolio then you can choose to answer one of our Falmouth Creative Projects instead in the form of a portfolio. Upload your portfolio online and send us a single link (the link needs to be accessible without a username or password or specific software) through the *Applicant Portal. Once we have received it, we will then book a time and date for your interview.

How can I prepare for my interview?

Before your interview you'll need to prepare your portfolio. We also recommend you familiarise yourself with the information on the Photography BA (Hons) page and think about your responses to questions such as:

- Why do you want to study photography at Falmouth?
- Who do you think are the most interesting photographers?
- What exhibitions have you seen and what did you think about them?
- What campaigns have you seen recently that have had a big impact on you?

You may be asked to pick out your favourite image from your portfolio and to discuss why you like it.

What will happen at my interview?

In-person

We'll send you full details a week before via email. On the day you'll need to follow the signs for registration. You can expect to be here for up to 30 minutes for an individual interview session. We'd advise you allow time before and after your interview time so you can have a chat with our student ambassadors or any of our support services and have a campus tour.

Online

We'll send you full details a week before via email. You'll be welcomed by a student ambassador, who you'll have around 15 minutes to chat with before they virtually take you into your interview with a member of the course team.

Your interview will take place online with a member of the course team at the time given in the Applicant Portal, it'll last around 20-30 minutes. You'll have the opportunity to ask any questions and you can chat to our current students online using our Ask a Student page.

What are you looking for in a successful applicant?

A successful applicant will be able to evidence their skills, their enthusiasm and commitment to their subject according to the following criteria:

Following the interview and assessment of your portfolio (or equivalent) the Course Team will consider whether your chosen course will likely suit your needs as a student. In some cases they may consider an alternative course more appropriate based on your conversation or the work within your portfolio. Examples where this might happen include:

• Where the conversation/portfolio suggests your academic interest might be better suited by an alternative course (e.g. you apply for BA(Hons) Photography, but your interest and portfolio have a strong focus on fashion and may align closely with BA(Hons) Fashion Photography).
• Where the conversation/portfolio suggests that you may need more time to develop your academic interests and/or technical skills in the subject in order to succeed on your chosen award. In this instance we may offer you a four-year honours degree course that includes an integrated foundation year. This is sometimes the case where students have not had sufficient time to practice relevant creative skills as part of their compulsory education or wish to switch to a creative route.
• Where you have applied for a four-year honours degree course that includes an integrated foundation year but the conversation/portfolio suggests a depth of understanding/skills that suggest the three year honours degree course would be more appropriate for your needs.

All interviewed applicants can request feedback and, if we choose to offer you a different course to the one you applied for we will explain our rationale.

What do I need to do before my interview?

For all online interviews, before allocating you an interview date, you will need to send us a link to your online portfolio. If you don't have a suitable portfolio then you can choose to answer one of our Falmouth Creative Projects instead in the form of a portfolio.

How can I prepare for my interview?

We want to hear about your motivations for applying for the course as well as understanding more about your interests and experiences.  It would be great to spend some time thinking about the following three questions – and remember this is not a test, and there isn’t a right or wrong answer – the questions are designed to start a conversation about how the course aligns with your skills, attributes and ambitions for the future.  Here are the three questions:

1. ‘What interests you about the course?’

2. ‘Considering your range of experiences, skills, attributes and interests - why do you think that this course at Falmouth University is a good fit for you?’

3. ‘What job/industry do you want to enter after university and what do you think the term ‘sustainability’ means in this job/industry?

What will happen at my interview?

We will discuss your thoughts on the three prepared questions and spend some time talking about the course and answering any questions that you may have.  This will all be very relaxed and conversational and one of the real positives about the interview is that you can be confident that you are well-informed and will feel ready and able to take the next step in your university journey.

• If you're unsure about any aspect of the audition/interview, then please do get in touch.

Remember your interview is also a chance for you to find out what it’s like to study at Falmouth University.

It is important that you get a feel for whether Falmouth is the right place for you, so please be prepared to ask as many questions as you need to. We recommend you familiarise yourself with the information on the BA(Hons) Technical Theatre course page and the AMATA website, as well as watching this short film where students discuss their experience of the course.

What will happen at my interview?

If you have not visited the campus or the Technical Theatre Arts facilities at AMATA on an Open Day, we highly recommend you opt for an in-person interview which will include a tour of our extraordinary technical and performance facilities. It will also give you a much fuller sense of what it might feel like to study and train here.

At AMATA we are committed to ensuring every applicant and student feels included, valued, and respected. We want to encourage applicants from all regions and groups within society as the courses strive to celebrate what individuals have to offer. There is no mould to fit in to and we offer support and guidance throughout your training, working with you to get the most out of your learning.

In-person

We'll send you full details a week before via email. On the day you'll need to follow the signs for registration. You can expect to be here for 3 hours for a group interview session.

What are you looking for in a successful applicant?

We're looking for people who:

• Are passionate about Theatre, Live Performance and Live Events and who are interested in developing their professionalism as well as their technical and creative learning.
• Have the energy, interest, commitment and desire to undertake a rigorous practical training together with contextual research and reflection.
• Are flexible in their attitude and can work hard over sometimes long hours, as is often required in the industry.

Collaboration is at the root of everything we do, so the ability and desire to communicate with and collaborate with others is key. Independent thinking, enthusiasm, positivity, drive and a sense of humour are highly valued as well.

We aren’t just looking for people who can do it already. Creativity, interest in the world, the desire to learn and a genuine desire to explore the potential that live events, performance and theatre has for human beings and communities is as important as skills and experience.

What do I need to do before my interview?

Read through this guidance carefully and all the way through so that you can prepare for the interview questions (see ‘How can I prepare for my interview?’) and ensure that you meet the criteria we are looking for (see What are you looking for in a successful applicant?).

How can I prepare for my interview?

Please read the information under 'What are you looking for in a successful applicant?' as it will help you prepare for the interview and understand how we assess your potential.

We'd also like you to start to think about the following questions that we will be ask you in your interview. We don't expect you to have memorised your answer to these, but we're looking for evidence of research and a vision of the kind of work you're interested in:

• What's important to you? What aspect of film and television are you most excited about studying? What would your contribution be?
• Outside of film and television, what have you engaged in most recently that has changed your way of thinking?
• What part have you played in your best and worst experience of working in a team?

You are not expected to provide a portfolio of your work; at this stage we are interested in what you bring to the course as an individual and as a storytelling.

What are you looking for in a successful applicant?

• Entry requirements: show us your attainment so far and that you meet the desired requirements to study at degree level. Evidenced by qualifications, personal statement, reference, interview conversation.
• Engagement: you can identify and articulate an understanding of the medium of television and / or film (including their innovative potential). Evidenced by personal statement and interview conversation.
• Perspective: you can demonstrate that you engage with forms and influences beyond film and television and can reflect on these insights to further yourself. Evidenced by personal statement and interview conversation.
• Collaboration: you can navigate group-working scenarios with sensitivity, and you are a self-motivated, hard-working, resilient team player who doesn't give up! Evidenced by personal statement and interview conversation.
• Communication: you can express your ideas clearly and with unique insight, you think outside the box and are passionate about storytelling. Evidenced by personal statement and interview conversation.

Following the interview the Course Team will consider whether your chosen course will likely suit your needs as a student. In some cases they may consider an alternative course more appropriate based on your application and the interview conversation. Examples where this might happen include:

• Where your application and interview conversation suggests your academic interest and learning approach might be better suited by an alternative course; e.g. you apply for BA(Hons) Film, but your interest and learning approach have a strong focus on hands-on making and may align more closely with BA(Hons) Television & Film Production.
• Where your application and interview conversation suggests that you may need more time to develop your academic interests and/or technical skills in the subject in order to succeed on your chosen award. In this instance we may offer you a four-year honours degree course that includes an integrated foundation year. This is sometimes the case where students have not had sufficient time to practice relevant creative skills as part of their compulsory education or wish to switch to a creative route.
• Where you have applied for a four-year honours degree course that includes an integrated foundation year but your application and interview conversation suggests a depth of understanding/skills that suggest the three year honours degree course would be more appropriate for your needs.

All interviewed applicants can request feedback and, if we choose to offer you a different course to the one you applied for we will explain our rationale.

What are you looking for in a successful applicant?

We're looking for people who are passionate about Theatre, Theatre Making and Live Perfromance. People who have the energy, interest, commitment and desire to undertake a rigorous theatre training together with contextual research and reflection.

Collaboration is at the root of everything we do, so the ability and desire to communicate with and collaborate with others is key. Independent thinking, enthusiasm, positivity, drive and a sense of humour are highly valued as well.

In your audition we will also look at :

• Your physical and vocal potential and how you respond to material.
• How you engage with the environment and other people.
• Your responsiveness to direction and facilitation.

We aren’t just looking for people who can do it already. Creativity, interest in the world, the desire to learn and a genuine desire to explore the potential that live performance and theatre has for human beings and communities is as important as skills and experience.

What do I need to do before my interview?

Before allocating you an interview date, you will need to send us a link to your online portfolio.

In this kind of portfolio you'll want to include observational drawings (digital or hand drawn) and a range of design processes and ways of working. You can even include GIFs that you've created as part of the portfolio. You can include a mix of still or moving image work that demonstrates your photography skills, drawing skills, design work and showcase your visual awareness, creativity and storytelling. Aim for about 15-20 pieces of work- show us your favourite work and the work that you think best shows who you are, where you're from and what you are interested in.

You may also include examples of essay writing or creative writing if you feel this is relevant.

Projects that show your process from brief to final outcome are great to include along with visual research and any sketchbooks or journals you might have.

Think of your portfolio like a good story. You'll want a beginning, a middle and an end. It'll showcase your process, including sketchbooks and preliminary work. It's worth putting in a variety of techniques and processes. Remember, it's about quality over quantity.

If you don't have a suitable portfolio then you can choose to answer one of our Falmouth Creative Projects instead in the form of a portfolio. Upload your portfolio online and send us a single link (the link needs to be accessible without a username or password or specific software) through the Applicant Portal. Once we have received it, we will then book a time and date for your interview.

How can I prepare for my interview?

As well as showing a selection of work, do some research - look at examples of visual communication around you. This could be magazine layouts; adverts; social media campaigns, photographs, exhibitions and identify some work that is the kind of work you would like to make. Its good to be able to talk about this in your interview as it will give us an idea of who you are and what you're interested in.

Think about your responses to questions such as:

1. Why do you want to study Visual Communications at Falmouth?
2. Who do you think are the most interesting image makers?
3. What exhibitions have you seen and what did you think about them?
4. What campaigns have you seen recently that have had a big impact on you?
