Architecture at the University of York [UPDATE]

Hi guys,

So University of York is starting their new Architecture course for 2025/2026 entry (my year of entry) and I'm unsure whether to apply. Considering it's a new course it perhaps wouldn't be a good idea, since I would be a guinea pig of sorts, and there would be no upper years to ask for help/advice from (although asking for help in Architecture is generally hard anyways). However, York is a Russell group so I wouldn't really expect the teaching/course quality to be terrible right off the bat. Additionally, they do have pictures of the exterior of their new school of Architecture, which looks pretty big and is definitely the biggest school of Architecture out of my other choices (other than Sheffield), and I assume that they have relatively large studio spaces as well as (obviously) new model-making machines.

Has anyone else considered York for Architecture? Have you put it down as one of your choices?

Hi I’ve applied and I’ve got an interview there soon - honestly not sure what to expect but I like the university. Did you end up applying?

Hi ive also got an interview, i'm not really sure what to expect as the email i received said it was an interview program day. Did you get the same?

Hi ive also got an interview, i'm not really sure what to expect as the email i received said it was an interview program day. Did you get the same?

Not really sure what it’s going to consist of - but I’m guessing we talk through our portfolio and then have a discussion?

Mines in February 18th 12:30 until 4pm wbu?

yeah i'm assuming it's that plus a tour of the building

Probably- do you know any other people who has applied? I really don’t know what to expect from this course since it new.

Oh nvm mines in January

Let me know how it goes, good luck for then!

No i dont know anyone else, that's why im scavenging student room lol. The uni is a russel group after all though so the course should be good

I've also got an interview, its this wednesday, they have said that its a group interview, is this the same for you?

I’m not sure - maybe but my email doesn’t say anything about a group interview. Good luck with yours!

Thank you! I got another email a few weeks after my initial interview invite telling me about the day, maybe you haven't received that yet.

Did you apply really early? Since your interview is this week.
