Most students have completed a general VCE and can demonstrate a commitment to further achievement in art, design, photography, or media fields, through their folio of work. Interstate, overseas or mature age students are able to apply by folio and will be assisted in seeking advice on requirements for further study in Victoria.

Interviews are held from late November onwards, and sometimes in February to fill consequential vacancies. Students should attend with a folio of current work and educational records.
