This is an important day for anyone applying to the CAO. You get the opportunity to attend talks and demos, get a tour of campus, view student portfolios, and see students working in their studio spaces.* **

Product Design and Interaction Design Portfolio Workshop: 4 November

This workshop is not suitable for those applying to studio programmes other than AD212 Interaction Design or AD222 Product Design.

This event is open only for applicants, due to space guardians will not be able to attend.*
