You should first submit your application, including your personal statement, to UCAS. The 伊人直播app will assess the application and eligible candidates for our BSc (Hons) Architecture course will receive an email inviting them to interview.
Your application
Your interview
You will be given a choice of dates and times to attend an interview, with options for either in-person or online (please note that after 26th March 2025, interviews for applicants applying for 2025 entry will take place online only).
Interviews take place in small groups with a lecturer from the School of Architecture. During the interview you will be able to discuss your motivation to study architecture at 伊人直播app and talk through your portfolio. It is also a good chance to ask any questions you might have about the programme and ascertain whether 伊人直播app is the right fit for you. Your portfolio forms an important part of the interview. For in-person interviews this should be a physical portfolio brought with you. For online interviews, it is a requirement to submit a digital portfolio, as a PDF file, at least one week before the date of your interview. Further information on how to submit your digital portfolio will be provided in your interview invitation.
Your portfolio
Your portfolio should demonstrate creative thinking as well as technical ability, containing a mixture of 2D and 3D pieces. Freehand skills are valued in architecture, therefore sketches showing creative thinking and ideas are particularly relevant, as well as 3D work such as sculpture or models. There is no expectation of any prior digital drawing skills, although they may be included.
Typically our applicants will be studying Art or Design subjects at A-Level (or equivalent). However, we will also consider applicants following courses of study that do not include art or design but that engage our physical or social environments, such as geography and philosophy, for example. These students need to demonstrate their interest and skills in art or design beyond their formal studies. All applicants are invited to share their interest in seeing, interpreting and communicating the world around them within their portfolio.
Portfolio guidelines
- Your portfolio should be around 12-15 pages in length and contain specific pieces of work that best show your ability with a broad range of representational techniques.
- Your portfolio should be presented clearly. Please carefully curate the content, including headings and annotation where necessary.
- Be selective and consider pieces that best highlight skill and reflect your interests – note that portfolios that include too much information can lose focus.
- Where possible, highlight development work that leads to a final piece; process work is valued highly.
- Freehand skills are valued in architecture, therefore sketches showing creative thinking and ideas are particularly relevant.
- Your portfolio may comprise materials from an art or design-related A level, or other relevant work. You can include work created in your own
