Lancaster University Applicant Thread 2024

Hi , Ive applied for architecture at Lancaster
Ive just wanted to ask if Lancaster is RIBA and ARB validated and of not when it will be?

Hi

I have copied and pasted the below information for you from the website so you have it exactly as explained online but the link is here should you wish to look yourself: Architecture - Lancaster University . But, in short, the BA (Hons) Architecture is accredited by ARB and has been awarded candidate course status by RIBA.

Architects Registration Board
Both the BA (Hons) Architecture (Part I) and the MArch Master of Architecture (Part II) are fully accredited by the ARB (Architects Registration Board).

RIBA
The BA (Hons) Architecture has been awarded candidate course status by RIBA, which means the course has been judged to have the potential to meet RIBA criteria. The status will be reviewed in 2023 when the first students graduate.
The designation ‘Candidate Course for Validation’ implies that the course has been judged to have the potential to meet RIBA criteria, if implemented as anticipated. It is not, however, equivalent to recognition, which can only be granted once the standard of work produced by graduating students has been assessed and found satisfactory.

Hope this helps and any other questions please get in touch, Ella

I just an email from Lancaster about booking the offer event in the management school but I’m meant to book it when I receive all my offers and put Lancaster as one of my choices or it won’t matter because I haven’t receive all my offers yet

Hey @stargirl28
You receive an offer holder event(OHE) invite when you get an offer from a university, it doesn't have to be after all the universities have replied because each uni takes a different amount of time to confirm offers.
Most OHE events are for students to realize if they like the uni and the course enough to put it as their firm/insurance and work towards it.

Once you attend the OHEs of the universities you want to then you can decide which one you'd like to go to the most and put as your firm.
I hope this answered your question

I'm an offer holder for Natural Sciences, but my login to the offer holder events portal isn't working, so I can't find out when they are. I was wondering if you could please tell me when they are, so I can book the day off college. Thank you!

Hi!

Unfortunately I’m not sure when the offer holder events are for Natural Sciences, but I’ve seen the following advice on the university website.

“Use the link below to book a place at one of our in-person or digital offer holder events. Log in using:
Link to book OHE place: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/itpi/closed-ohe

If you have any trouble logging in, please visit our help page for further assistance.
[start]If you have any questions about the events, please contact [email protected], clearly stating your name, UCAS ID and course, and we’ll be happy to advise.”[/start]

I’d recommend either looking at the help page to try and sort out the login, or emailing the above email to find out the dates and maybe book through them!

I hope this helps!
