Architecture Applicants 2022

Does anyone know why Lancaster Univeristy only says that it is accredited by ARB and not RIBA?
Does this make a difference?

RIBA validation usually follows the graduation of the first cohort. Lancaster's first intake was Oct 2020 so they will graduate in the summer of 2023.

The following is a quote by SebastianMesser from another thread that explains the process:

"The ARB are the statutory body who maintain the register of people who are legally entitled to call themselves architects. So if you ultimately want to become an architect in the UK, the ARB accreditation arguably is the more important one, because this ensures the course’s paperwork is compliant with their requirements. The ARB and RIBA have a joint criteria which is the basis for the syllabus in every accredited and validated school of architecture. The RIBA validation process is a physical inspection of the school and the work and is, principally, concerned with quality: the ethos of the school, management and the learning environment, and the work produced by the students across all of their modules. New courses will (typically) apply for ‘candidate status’ from the RIBA which can then become full validation after the first cohort graduates. The advantages to being in a new school are that usually these will have quite small cohorts so you will get a lot of support from the staff. Sometimes they will other incentives such as lower fees or lower UCAS entry tariffs until they are validated."

Hi the same is for the Leeds Meng course, they are probably be accredited by RIBA by the end of this year but because of that they don’t require a portfolio

Heyy guys, what was your task for UCL? I just sent my application for them and I’m wondering what sort of thing they might ask me to do. Any pointers would be great!

my task was about showing the concept of time either with an object or location, i chose an object.

i had two 1 hour drawings and one photo.

they want to see very loose and colourful pieces, really nothing too technical but more so sketchy- try to show process when you submit your final pieces.

i didnt know this beforehand so i was doing very detailed drawings which you should NOT do (hence my rejection 😃)

anyone get their official EPQ grades today? and do we have to email universities individually? i’ve had an unconditional from huddersfield so i feel like it’s unnecessary to contact them but i’m still waiting on replies from my other 4.

@McGinger and @Admit-One should be able to offer you advice on this

The Leeds course is an Architectural Engineering degree, hence there is no requirement for an art qualification or portfolio.

Hello everyone! I recently received an offer from the Bartlett for Bsc Architecture, however I’m thinking of taking a gap year before starting. Do I have to reapply? Any advice on this?
