Portfolio upload instructions
You will receive an email from UCL inviting you to submit your portfolio after you have submitted your application. The video below will help you with the portfolio upload process.
Please note that it is not possible to submit two portfolios if you are applying to both the BA and BFA. You will only be able to submit the form once, hence you will have to choose one programme when you submit your Portfolio.
If you are applying to the postgraduate programme, please note that you should apply for either the MA Fine Art or the MFA Fine Art.
Please watch the video about applying to the Slade, which includes instructions about uploading your portfolio, before proceeding.

Top tips
The system is very sensitive. Please make sure that you:
- Enter your name and email address in exactly the same way on both forms
- Be careful not to add spaces to your UCAS number/student number
- Please use the ImageUpload.docx template for your images (this in the unique folder you will be sent after applying)
- If you encounter any problems/an error message whilst submitting your portfolio, please DO NOT try to resubmit your portfolio. Please contact slade.tlo@ucl.ac.uk.
- Please remember to not resubmit the form as this creates an error every time. If you run into an error that prevents you from submitting while Slade is on holiday break, please do not try resubmitting the form as this will only prolong your application process and create a longer work order for us to process. If an error occurs, just kindly send an email including your UCAS (BA/BFA) or Student Number (MA/MFA) to slade.tlo@ucl.ac.uk. Please only write ''Application [UCAS/Student number]'' in the subject line. Please do not write 'urgent' as we receive a large number of emails related to the application process.
If you are unsure about submitting your portfolio, please contact us at slade.tlo@ucl.ac.uk before starting the portfolio submission process so we can help you.
