# AI agents for art and design school admissions

Updated on November 9, 2026

At an art or design school, an application often comes down to three words: portfolio, interview, foundation. The applicant wants to know what to show, when the portfolio review happens and whether they need a foundation year first. Skolbot agents answer from your content, invite them to your open days and taster days, then pass a qualified plan to the team.

## Portfolio and interview

Number of pieces, sketchbooks, digital or physical format, how the interview runs: the agent explains your procedure as you describe it. It never judges the applicant’s work.

## Foundation year or direct entry

Many applicants hesitate: start in first year, do a foundation diploma in art and design first, or join later in the course. The agent presents the possible entry points for each profile.

- After school: foundation year or first year
- After a foundation diploma: first-year entry
- After an art and design HND: advanced entry
- Career changers: dedicated portfolio and interview

## Courses, studios and careers

Graphic design, fashion, interior architecture, animation, illustration: the agent presents each course, its studios, projects and career paths as you publish them.

## Open days, taster days and parents

Applicants want to see the studios before choosing. The agent presents your open days and taster days, offers to book a place, and also answers parents on fees, accommodation and careers.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the agent assess a portfolio?

No. It explains what the school expects. Assessment stays with your panel.

### Does the agent answer parents?

Yes. The website gets questions from applicants and parents, and the agent answers both.

### Will the agent respect our school’s identity?

Yes. We define the tone and vocabulary of the replies with you. On Instagram, the agent replies from the school’s professional account, which stays under your control.

### Does the agent decide who gets in?

No. The agents make no automated decisions. The level of interest only helps the team prioritise its follow-ups.
