How is everyone preparing for the written assesement

I’m thinking of making bullet points on topics they may ask e.g environmental architecture. Then I have a starting basis for my essay.

Yes, I remember there was a question like "how can architects help the environment"

Who has received an interview from UCL msci yet? I’m just worried that it will be too time pressured since you only get 5 minutes to talk about your portfolio.

Well I received it, and I may only introduce 2 projects instead of the whole portfolio since the time is too limited.

Its funny because I only received the architecture msci interview from UCL but still havent heard back for the Design Engineering course.
Hi, does anyone know if we send an updated portfolio to Cambridge before our interview or if they only look at our initial 6page portfolio.

If you're applying to uni for Architecture for autumn 2024 entry, introduce yourself to fellow applicants, ask questions and share your experience of applying so far:


What universities are you thinking of?
A level / BTEC/ IB / Higher predicted grades
Extra curriculars


Still thinking about where to apply? Have a look at the following thread regarding A level entry requirements for architecture:

@CamembertPaws FYI

Hi,
For architecture portfolios they ask for observational drawings. Therefore, would sketching an artist with the use of a reference image from the internet (a secondary source), be considered as an observational drawing?

How long will we wait for the notice after the interview of Cambridge generally? Does Cambridge send conditional offer before the official confirmed offer?

I guess that depends on the uni's definition. If it's a direct observational drawing then this usually excludes using an image as a reference.

Yes. I am not sure. But I think the teachers are nice listeners.

I did my interview last Friday and had to prepare the digital portfolio in 2 days because I forgot to read the website:smile:. I applied to Christs and they say that the decisions will be sent out on the 24th of January. I’m so anxious!!!!

What did they mean by two? Did they mean one sketch book and one extra with the 6 images and more? Or is it one sketchbook and one more portfolio not including the 6 images?
I did the Cambridge interview last Tuesday but I was not asked to share my screen to show my portfolio. It was just a ten minutes Q&A about contents of my portfolio, and no extra material was required to submit.
