INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO CHALLENGE

If you are drawn to design and architecture and you want to set your university application apart, this is the challenge for you! Learn how to put together the perfect portfolio and compete with top likeminded creators from all around the world.

The International Portfolio Challenge is a two-session global competition that will allow you to explore the relevance of the portfolio as a tool for an aspiring designer/architect.

In the first session, you will participate in a workshop on how to create your first portfolio, looking at different examples and providing feedback and insights. After the workshop, you will have two weeks to work on your own portfolio and submit it the second session, where the Directors of IE University Bachelor in Architectural Studies and the Bachelor in Design will make a selection and give a full in-depth critique to pick the winner.
