Architecture

Hi,I am currently a Year 13 A-level student studying Maths, Physics, and Art & Design, and I’m planning to apply to UCL’s Engineering and Architectural Design MEng.

I know that UCL requires a portfolio, but I’ve never made one before and I’m not really sure what to include or how to structure it .Other universities I’m applying to don’t ask for a portfolio, so this part is completely new to me.

I don’t have in-person work experience yet is it really that important, but I have done virtual work experiences, listened to architecture/engineering podcasts, read books, and completed online courses related to the field. I did summer school in in Oxford almost 2 years ago for engineering and art and crafts.Do I need to any more super curricular. Can anyone tell me whether I can include or mention these kinds of things in my portfolio, and what kind of creative or design work UCL likes to see specifically this course ?

The portfolio I would expect would be a creative portfolio - UCL architecture is very arty.

Google "architecture portfolios Bartlett" to get an idea of what students submit.
