Create your successful and personalized application portfolio for design and architecture study programmes!
Your Portfolio Course in Munich
The first step toward your creative dream study program is the application portfolio. An exciting process!
You probably got a lot of questions: What should I show? What is the jury interested in? Do I have to be able to draw perfectly?Which university is right for me? Our portfolio course in Munich gives you the answers you need!
Our tutors, who have extensive professional experience in the industry, will teach you simple and professional drawing techniques and help you create an application portfolio that creatively expresses your personality and interests!
Perspective drawing, various drawing techniques and media, as well as visualizing and developing entire concepts are just some of the topics that will be taught in our portfolio course and worked on together with you. All you need to bring is enthusiasm and passion. No prior knowledge is necessary!
To make your portfolio stand out from the crowd, it should be the result of a creative process involving unique ideas. It is not important that every piece of work in your application portfolio is perfect. Rather, it should represent your creativity, your design process and your personality.
In our portfolio preparation course, you will first learn the basics, tailored to your individual level. You will then be able to use various media and drawing techniques to realise concepts from brainstorming to finalisation.
Once your application portfolio has been submitted to your desired universities, we will help you prepare and accompany you right up to your entrance exam, so that you can start your studies straight away!
