Arch unis?

How important do you think uni rankings are for architecture? I have heard because the subject is vocational it is different.

Not very.

the underlying data that feeds into the league tables might be worth looking at when you’re looking for a good fit for you.

looking at the work from graduate shows is a good way to understand if a course is a good fit for you.

It’s also worth looking beyond the obvious. Even small specialist art universities like AUB have partnerships/projects with Foster+Partners and ZHA. That sort of thing doesn’t appear in any rankings.

Thanks. Also, if I was to accept my place on the day for a uni, can I withdraw at any time after? Or does that nit work because I've applied for finance. Do I have until I start the course to opt out if I have second guesses?
