Hi I’ve applied to UCL, CSM, Reading, Manchester and Kingston for Architecture and was wondering if anyone would share what interview questions they were asked??

Interview questions can't be shared on the forum as it would give you an unfair advantage. Be prepared to talk through your portfolio and for general questions such as why architecture, why this uni, etc.

'Authentically build' - what do you think that means?

Hi there @Farja ,

It is great to hear that you have applied to Reading to study Architecture! 🙂

While I do not have personal experience studying Architecture/the interview process, you can find lots of detailed information here from the Uni of Reading School of Architecture website!

This outlines your application, interview, portfolio and portfolio guidelines as well as some content ideas!

The University also has a great interview course which can be found here which may help you to prepare!

If you do have any specific questions regarding the interview then feel free to reach out the the Admissions Support Team which can be found here!

Let us know if you have any more questions about studying or student life at Reading!

Best of luck with your interview,
Millie 🙂
