To be fair, being an architect doesn't involve finding grade requirements on university websites. Besides, that's a completely different course (the second is the Architecture and planning course, more later).

From the programme's (BArch/MA) site

The course is open to:

Graduates (normally 2:2 or above) of the BA(Hons) Architecture and Planning course at UWE Bristol (applicants who are graduates from UWE Bristol do need to formally apply for the course).

Graduates (normally 2:2 or above) of a Part 1 course prescribed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and applicants who have successfully completed the ARB Part 1 external examination.
All applicants will normally have completed a year's professional practice which is judged by the course leaders to be relevant to the course. In the current economic situation, we will consider applicants without a full year in professional practice, so long as they have at least five months.

In other words, it looks like it's only open to graduates of the Architecture and Planning course OR another Part One ARB course AND have signifcant work experience (ideally a year, at least five months).

For the BA (hons) Architecture and Planning: -

Unless I've got it completely wrong. Moving to the Architecture/Built Environment subforum.

I meant that its a career where you need a high level of skills including being able to notice the little things - like the wrong measurement written on a plan..and its pretty easy to find entry requirements on that page or you could open 'Find'.

Does anyone know the grade requirement to initially study architecture at any given university, also would be a great endeavour to suggest any uni's which consist of..
C in mathematics
B in physics
B in art and design
C in design and technology
At AS level standards

Depends on what you are likely to achieve at A2 but for now,

Architecture wise, it depends on what kind of course you want to go for, the best isn't always the one you will like-some are arty some are techy. They widely vary, generally the majority ask for anything between 280 UCAS points(but this may go up to 300, which is BBB in A2 terms) and AAA(although more a levels may compensate for lower grades, they also like all-rounders).

Look at universities like Demontfort, London met, UWE, Portsmouth, UCLan, Leeds met, Nottingham trent, Coventry, Liverpool John Moores, Plymouth, Uni of the Arts London, Norwich college of arts which are all about in your current grade range.
