Follow the guidance below to create a University Application Portfolio that demonstrates your ability to think independently, engage with real-world ideas, and develop the kind of critical thinking that universities find genuinely impressive.
Done well, it will help develop and signpost your critical thinking, and give you rich material to draw on in your personal statement and interviews.

The University Application Portfolio gives students a clear framework for developing their critical thinking skills, building a rich body of evidence for their personal statement and interviews, and preparing for the kind of rigorous thinking that undergraduate study demands.
To access the full UAP guidance, resources, and assessment rubrics, along with our library of resources, you’ll need to be a member of theoryofknowledge.net. Join us and help your students to build a portfolio that will make a real difference to their applications.
