Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most often about portfolio preparation.
How many pieces should be in a portfolio?
Most schools expect 10 to 15 finished, polished pieces that show range across techniques and a clear personal direction — quality and a strong narrative matter far more than quantity.
What format should the portfolio be submitted in?
Most international schools require a digital portfolio — a PDF or a set of high-resolution JPGs uploaded through the school's application portal — with each school setting its own file size, dimension, and page-count limits.
How long does it take to prepare a portfolio?
A complete portfolio typically takes 3 to 6 months to prepare, depending on your starting level and the application deadlines of your target schools.
