How long have people waited to receive offers from the Bartlett after interview? Mine was 15 days after I think.


Still waiting for a response, wait is so tense. If i don't get UCL (really really hope i do) I'll accept the unconditional from brookes.
Can one apply for UCAS again after starting studies elsewhere in the UK/EU for first year? Like 1st year art or engineering or something? I do know one can't change courses within the university though...interesting to weigh this against the usual foundation art courses.

Expensive option -- you will have to pay a years tuition fee and probably accommodation fees.

Congratulations on your offer! I dont know Newcastle that well because I didnt apply to the uni but its doing really good in the league tables. Altough I went to Oxford Brookes and its really nice there and pretty good in the league tables as well. Not much of a help here ahaha. Good luck with your other uni choices!

Thanks though! Oxford Brookes looks really good to me as well! I went there for an open day but unfortunately weren't able to attend the offer holder day! the Campus is really nice and I got really good feelings about the school after my visit. I'm really keen with Newcastle too! I am pretty confident with my english also because I lived in Canada for a while even though I'm an Italian citizen and mother tongue. Indeed I already took the IELTS which I needed in order to apply to UK Universities, but I have this concern about Newcastle and wondered if any North-eastern and all British could help me out answering this question: "Is the Tyneside accent to hard for a foreigner! This is worrying me a bit, and whats the weather like in Newcastle? besides those concerns I would be really happy with setting Newcastle as my Insurance (in the hope I'll get an offer from The Bartlett!)
Hey, I'm doing a portfolio for Kent and I haven't done an online one before, has anyone got any suggestions? https://gemyerst.carbonmade.com

Hey, I'm definitely not a portfolio expert but I think that yours looks really good. The only thing that I would do is add the medium for each thing and maybe a short text for some of your artworks to explain your intentions. I really really liked the section called "Concentration", you've got some amazing work there!

If I Had the chance to apply there I would have sure applied! Good luck on your interview! AA is as competitive as the Bartlett! They are both really good schools!

The AA School is not included in the top university rankings because it is a private uni. However, it is the oldest architectural school in the UK and is well known worldwide for it's many Pritzker Prize winners/graduates including Zaha Hadid. Both UCL and the AA School are sort of even i guess, it really depends on whether their architecture course suits you! good luck:smile:


Well actually the oldest school of architecture in the UK is the Bartlett school as it was founded in 1841 while the AA was founded in 1847. But the age of the school shouldn't really affect your choice too much, it depends on whether you want to do a highly art based course or one that leans more to art and design application.

i meant independent, but thanks for the correction


It's okayyy I just get really pedantic over details haha. In my UCL interview I was asked if I knew the structure of the courses and told him I'd applied to the AA last year and gotten a place but chose not to take it as it was super expensive. He seemed annoyed/mad that I thought it was a good school and I have no idea why haha. He was like 'Oh I could tell you A LOT of things about the AA'. I thought I'd messed up so bad haha
