Portfolio Reviews with the RCA in Jakarta

✨ Exclusive 1-on-1 Portfolio Reviews with RCA Academics in Jakarta!

Here’s your rare chance to meet RCA academics in person - a one-on-one session that could make your application shine.

Studying at the Royal College of Art places you in London: a city internationally renowned for its creativity, culture and diversity - the perfect place to develop your creative career in. What do prospective students need to know about living and studying in the UK?

Why this is special:

• Limited availability: Only 9 one-on-one sessions, and only available when academics are in the region.
• Direct guidance from RCA academics: Receive tailored advice on your portfolio and application.
• Insights you can’t get elsewhere: Learn exactly what RCA looks for in prospective students.
• Make it count: Work-in-progress portfolios are welcome - get feedback on your ideas, not just finished work.

💡 Pro tip: Attendance is essential - we look forward to welcoming you, and making the most of your 20-minute session will ensure it’s a high-value experience.

Slots are extremely limited - secure your exclusive session today to guarantee your spot!

We'll be running regular, 20-minute 1:1 portfolio appointments on Tuesday, 14 October 2025 (11.00 am - 3.30 pm WIB). Please select the appointment that fits your schedule best.

💡 Important: These are high-value, pre-booked sessions. Duplicate bookings will be cancelled. Bring your portfolio on a fully charged laptop (offline version preferred) to avoid connection issues.

Work-in-progress portfolios are welcome - don’t worry if your portfolio isn’t finalised!

The sessions will be conducted in English.

• Those interested in postgraduate study at the Royal College of Art
• Current RCA applicants and offer-holders
• Parents, guardians, and family members are also welcome to join, though please ensure there will be time to review only one person's work

Graeme’s specialism is Interior Design MA in the School of Architecture, but his advice will be useful for anyone applying to the RCA. For deeper insights into other Schools, you can also explore our subject-specific event recordings here.

Due to the postgraduate nature of RCA study, all attendees must be over 18.

The event is free to attend, but please note that places are limited. Pre-booking is essential to guarantee your spot.

Seats are limited and tend to fill quickly - register now to secure your spot.
