How to make your portfolio stand out for art school
Popular post A level destinations for RIC students include UAL's Central Saint Martins, London College of Fashion, Chelsea and Camberwell, Goldsmiths and BIMM. Film students opt either for academic courses at top universities such as KCL, Warwick and Sussex or more practical training routes at universities such as MetFilm School, Bournemouth and Ravensbourne. Representatives from top art schools regularly visit RIC to talk to our students about their courses and every year we attend “Create Your Future” organised by UCAS an exciting event jam-packed with all things relevant to creative careers from art, design, journalism, and music, to drama and fashion.

All three have proceeded to UAL degrees, Lexi at CSM and Polina and Viviana at London College of Fashion.
