Official Architecture Applicants Thread 2026

It's not possible to do so on TSR without sharing personal details, which is not allowed for safeguarding reasons. Do you have an art teacher who can look at it for you?

For the Sheffield street task for the 200 words is it meant to be descriptive, personal or like informational I’m not sure what to write on it

... And the requirement for Maths is definitely true for many unis- if you're unsure do visit them, however during open days i always heard that they had a preference towards those with maths

Im about to submit my ucas for uni of Manchester, Cardiff, UAL, Westminister and either UCL or Nottingham. I am predicted A*AA with an A* EPQ. A-levels are textile art, biology and chemistry. GCSEs are 9988777776. Work experience placement. Are these stats strong enough for these unis? If so, is Uni of Edinburgh a stretch?

Has anyone heard back from any Scottish universities?? (especially Edinburgh and Strathclyde)

I already got an offer from Edinburgh! Hbu?

woah congrats! - i’m also waiting for Edinburgh for architecture and im getting a lil antsy. Can i ask when u submitted ur application and what ur predicted grades are? They received mine on the 1st of October and im predicted A*A*A.
Also has anyone gotten an interview invite from UCL yet, or heard back from Bath? I know they tend to take a while, but just being hopeful

Wonder if you guys can help please. I am trying to decide between UCL Bartlett MSci Architecture and the Leeds MEng Architecture. Both have AAB offers. My goal is to qualify as both an architect and an engineer. The Leeds course gives me that combination directly, but I prefer London as a place to study and live. I also feel that UCL might offer stronger career opportunities, although I might be mistaken. The issue is that if I choose the UCL MSci, I would need further studies to qualify as an engineer (more time/cost). I'm aware UCL also offers an Architecture and Engineering course, but that's AAA (and I have no evidence they let in non-contextual AAB).
I am really unsure what to do. Should I choose:
Thank you!

My sixth form always told us to have one aspirational choice, 3 choices that are your predicted grades and one choice below your predicted grades as a safety net incase things don't go well. I also applied to Uni of Manchester and got an offer despite my predicteds being ABB when they wanted an AAA. I think they look more into your portfolio and personal statement.

UCL is very competitive and you will need a very strong portfolio. Are you confident that you have one?
