Doha: Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar (VCUarts Qatar), a Qatar Foundation (QF) partner university, will offer portfolio development classes for high school students during the first semester of the academic year 2024.

Organized by the University’s Community and Continuing Education (CCE) wing, the classes are a series of in-depth, non-credit sessions for students who would like to gain the skills necessary to develop a competitive portfolio of their art and design work tailored to university requirements.

The program is offered across four different time schedules, allowing students to choose a timetable that best suits their individual needs and day-to-day routines.

For the year 2024, applicants can choose from classes that run as follows: September 1 - October 20; September 16 - November 4; October 1 - November 19; and October 23 - December 11.

The program focuses on a key factor that art, design and architecture universities look for in addition to technical skills when selecting suitable applicants for their programs—originality in thinking and development. Hence, the program is designed to encourage participants to develop portfolios that reflect their unique interpretations of a theme or topic.
