I know that Teesside university also requires a portfolio with 2d artwork. I applied there myself this year. Eventually I got a mail telling me to send a portfolio with 6 lifedrawings and 2 character designs. It was alittle weird that they didn't want any 3d artwork.

But understanding how important lifedrawing and drawing in general is, I really see why they want good drawers.
Anyway, I quickly drew a couple of drawings, and I hope I get accepted. =)
