I hope to be able to find a specialism in sustainable approaches to architecture, particularly in terms of timber construction.
I enjoy walks in the woods, and like the idea of construction in the forests.
I like to draw and make things, and I know that model making is a big part of the course.
Maybe see you next year, I am based in the Newcastle so probably wont be too interested in London courses, although I have put down Bartlett, as I think most people have.

University Choices:

UCL (Architecture and Engineering, and the Architecture one), Sheffield (Architecture and Engineering), Bath (Archi), UAL (Archi)

A Levels predicted: A*AA, but I do Chemistry Maths French :0

Do you think I'll be disadvantaged by not having Art A Level?

I'm undecided for my last choice between Manchester, UAL, Nottingham and Loughborough tho. Could anyone give me some tips on which is best?

1. Art, Maths and physics (+epq in yr12)
2. Bath, UCL, Cambridge, Sheffield and Cardiff
3. I've got an idea of the pieces I'm including but I plan on refining that in the half term holidays along with interview prep. I sent my ucas off on the 14th of Oct and haven't heard back from Bartlett regarding this year's tasks. Has anyone received any offers/ got correspondence avec Bartlett?

Yep, I’ve completed and sent off the task!! It was very vague as always, slightly different format to previous years I believe!
