“Our current crop of final-year students are about to graduate, and they have spent the past semester supercharging their portfolios. So it makes sense that they receive some feedback from the people who may soon be their employer. We invited industry professionals in to view student portfolios in a mock interview style, with a brief to tell the hard truths. Portfolio reviews are a useful tool to help bring industry currency into design degrees, but they also give the professionals an overview of our graduates and their skillsets.”

"A solid portfolio is a critical asset for all graduating design students"

Alison reflected post-event. “This session wasn’t just an opportunity for us to engage with UoN, but a platform to share our trials, triumphs, and trade secrets. If our feedback helps these students finesse their presentations and approach, we’ve sparked a dialogue that extends beyond just one day.”

"Sharing our knowledge felt like passing the baton. Newcastle's creative culture is a cauldron of innovation because we dare to push, question, and reveal. Seeing the students embody this spirit, I'm convinced the future of design is not just bright; it's brilliant."
