Could I get into architecture at uni?

I’m not set on it, but I was just wondering as it’s one of my ideas but I’m unsure if my classes would get me accepted.

Yes, why wouldn't you be able to? Obviously subject to portfolio though...

Thanks, I was just wondering if I’d be at a disadvantage because I haven’t done classes like physics or engineering or anything like that, other than really art and maths.

Architecture is a design degree, not an analytical/engineering degree. Outside of Bath and possibly Strathclyde, I'm not aware of any architecture courses that require physics, maths, or anything engineering related.

It may be worth having a look at the entry requirements for the unis you are interested in. You could also reach out to them and ask, go to open days too, you can get a feel for the unis.

What unis look for may be a little different depending on the uni and exact architecture course you were looking at. The likes of the portfolio and interview for these course are really important sometimes more important than the grades
