Founded in 1925, Emily Carr University is a world leader in art, media and design. Encouraging experimentation at the intersections of art, design, media and technology, ECU merges studio practice, research and critical theory in an interdisciplinary and collaborative environment. In 2020 and 2021, we were ranked as the top university for art and design in Canada, and 30th in the world.
ECU has 2000 students enrolled in graduate and undergraduate programs, and thousands more taking workshops, certificate programs and individual courses. The faculty and alumni are internationally recognized as award-winning creators and thought leaders who have significant impacts on both the cultural sectors and the economy.
Your portfolio is a collection of work and ideas that demonstrate the state of your creative development. We want to see what you create to imagine how you might succeed at Emily Carr.
A strong portfolio includes a diverse array of artwork, experimental processes, material techniques, observation skills, and creative thinking.
There is no rigid or fail-safe formula for a good portfolio: we are looking for that unique combination of creativity, engagement, and inspiration that makes art, design and media education suitable for you.
