A levels for Architecture

The following table lists the A level subject requirements for RIBA validated architecture courses in the UK (as at June 2023). Please note that entry requirements can and do change slightly so check university websites before you apply. Also check websites for details of other qualifications that are accepted, such as Scottish Higher/Advanced Highers, IB, Btecs, etc., and for GCSE requirements.

In the table, if the 'A level subject requirements' column is blank, no specific subjects are required. Courses are grouped according to entry grades/UCAS points.

In addition to A level (or other) qualifications, the majority of courses will require you to submit a portfolio of your creative work as part of the application process.

Those courses marked with an * have not yet been fully validated by RIBA. New courses apply for ‘candidate status’ from RIBA and can become fully validated after the first cohort graduates. Check the following link for updates:

I do . I made notes on results day last year:

Arts Uni Bournemouth, B'ham City, Brighton, Cardiff, UCLAN, Coventry, Creative Arts, DeMontfort, Dundee, Falmouth, Glasgow SA, Greenwich, Herts, Kent, Lancaster, Leeds Beckett, Lincoln, Liverpool John Moores, London Met, London South Bank, Northumbria, Nottingham Trent, Oxford Brookes, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Queen's, Revensbourne, Robert Gordon, Salford, Sheffield Hallam, Westminster, Huddersfield

(Bath Spa, Cardiff Met and Gloucester were also on the list but none of these courses have RIBA validation.)

Just be aware that it doesn't mean that the same courses will be in clearing this year. Best of luck with the rest of your exams.

Architecture, Building and Planning Clearing 2022 acceptances:

Do any of these accept UAL qualifications? I am currently doing a level 3 extended diploma and I am planning on doing a UAL foundation diploma at my college. Is there any way I can check to see if a course accepts these? Im not fully set on what I want to do after college.

You would need to check the Entry Requirements section on the course pages of uni websites. If it's not clear, then email the admissions department.

Perhaps there is information: has Lancaster University received RIBA accreditation? https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/arts-and-social-sciences/news/riba-stamp-of-approval-for-lancaster-university-architecture-degree-course "A panel representing the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) have granted full and unconditional validation (Part 1) to the BA (Hons) Architecture and Candidate Course status to the Master of Architecture course at Lancaster University."
