Be prepared to answer question such as 'why architecture' and 'why Reading', and be prepared to talk through some of your pieces in your portfolio.

Hello @Razzn Congratulations on receiving an invitation for an interview! As @normaw has highlighted, there will be a lot of emphasis on talking through your portfolio, as they're really interesting to see how you develop your ideas (so not just the final outcome of the sketch) and discussing your approaches to drawing and design. So being prepared to talk through your portfolio is key! I would recommend messaging Katie (who is a current student), on Unibuddy which will hopefully be helpful! - https://www.reading.ac.uk/about/chat-to-our-students?unibuddy=buddies/students/63ed294de8b79c0f33fdf7a7.
Hopefully this has helped , and most of all Good Luck!
