Please note:

IIE-Vega does not require a portfolio as part of the application process. That’s because our primary focus is on how our students think and how collaborative they are as creative solution seekers. The development of an industry-ready portfolio becomes a core focus once you enrol and engage hands-on with any one of our design programmes.

You are welcome to make an appointment with your campus Contact Navigator if you are not sure which course would suit you best. Ideally you should attend one of our GenV workshops at any of the IIE-Vega campuses to explore the different programmes on offer.
