Has UCL Bartlett started admission interviews for 2026 entry?


From what I’ve seen on Reddit and heard from other applicants during interview days, a small few have, but these are people that applied in October, I’d say about 10% of people I’ve spoken to have gotten interviews the rest who haven’t have applied later than October or have just had silence, we will most likely hear in late February or March.

tbh the only poeple who i have seen get interviews are people who applied late november/early december. not any later than that. i assume they will come around to people that applied in january in the next few weeks maybe? idk? there is probably a huge number of people who applied late december and then in january

My daughter together with 3 friends have sent the portfolio to Bartlett late on December. One of them received an interview offer early on February and will have it next week, another was rejected, and two are still waiting. Today is 20/2/2026.

Updating: My daughter got an interview invitation yesterday (that will take place in 3 weeks). She waited 12 weeks for a reply from Bartlett. There is still one friend with no news. Any tips for the interview?

I had mine yesterday and was having palpitations just before it started and was very nervous but tbh they’re not trying to catch you out it’s just a conversation, just ensure you know your portfolio and the process of pieces and why you made certain choices and your interests in architecture whether it be specific literature or media , if that resonates with them you will get an offer.

They did say it will take some time as they’re going through a lot of applications but based off last year it ranges between 4 days - 2 months or like just before the UCAS deadline
