ND CONNECTS
Portfolio Reviews
Returning for 2023 our programme of portfolio reviews, exclusively available for the ND Class of 23. Once again we will be teaming up with amazing brands to provide 1-2-1 opportunities for graduates to gain real-time feedback to their portfolios.
To provide as many opportunities as possible, we will be running both face-to-face and virtual portfolio reviews.
- Face-to-face: both graduate and the design professional will meet at the Business Design Centre to have their session.
- Virtual: connect with design professionals who are based further afield, we will provide a laptop at the Business Design Centre for you to log in and join your reviewer virtually.
The opportunities will be released in the spring below. RSVP will be essential to us stating the date and time of the review that you would like to attend.
For a taste of what’s to come for ND23, take a look back at the 2022 programme of portfolios below.
