Is it necessary to prepare a portfolio for my application and what are the size requirements in Australia/Italy for a Master's?

Yes, a portfolio is typically required for Master's applications in Architecture and Design in both Italy and Australia.
Most universities expect a digital PDF portfolio that highlights your academic and professional design work. Common requirements include:
- Italy: Portfolios are usually 20 MB max, with 25 - 30 pages (A4 horizontal), and must showcase your design and technical skills.
- Australia: Portfolios are generally 10 - 20 MB max, with 10 - 15 pages (A3 or A4), focusing on your best undergraduate projects and any relevant work experience.
Always follow each university’s specific guidelines for format, content, and file size.
