Requirements for 2022 British Architecture Study Abroad Portfolio
What needs to be paid attention to when applying for British architecture major is the requirements of the school for the portfolio. First of all, students should have a certain professional background and foundation, that is to say, painting or design works should be excellent works;
Secondly, there should be room for improvement, so that people can't feel that they are doing too perfectly and don't need to learn any more;
Thirdly, to reflect the process in their works, they hope to see that the students' works contain hand-drawn manuscripts, which are more realistic and can better reflect the students' thinking process.
Each university has its own specifications for the portfolio, but in general, these requirements are similar. Universities that attract students' attention with landscape architecture include University College London, Sheffield University, Edinburgh University, Cardiff University, Newcastle University and Nottingham University. These universities all accept electronic formats of PDF and PPT, and also accept mail works.
The specific requirements of the work are as follows:
1. All works should be compressed in one file, and PDF format is recommended;
2. The homepage contains personal name and basic information;
3. Three-dimensional works such as models and sculptures need to be photographed in high quality;
4. The media used can include: pencils, pens, watercolors, oil paintings, photography, software design, models, sculptures, etc.
5, to ensure originality, if there is a reference, you need to make a reference;
But it should be noted that the individual requirements of each university should also be taken seriously. The University of Sheffield requires students to date each work; The University of Edinburgh requires a maximum of 25 pages; Cardiff requires A8 paper to be 4 pages in size, both positive and negative; Newcastle University requires about 15 pages.
Other application requirements for studying architecture in Britain
1, apply for undergraduate course
For domestic high school graduates, if they want to study in Britain, they need to prepare for the first half to one year before their undergraduate courses as a connection and transition. In Britain, the academic system of architecture is five years in Scotland and four years outside Scotland. There are not many pre-university institutions offering architecture majors, but there are still universities with high professional prestige to choose from, such as Nottingham University and Liverpool University. After successfully completing the preparatory course, students can directly enter the university for undergraduate study.
Step 2 apply for a master's degree
For students with a bachelor's degree, they can choose to go to Britain to study for a master's degree in architecture. The teaching-oriented master's degree system in Britain is generally one year. However, due to some differences between Chinese and English education systems and the problems of industry evaluation in Britain, many China architecture graduates may not be able to apply for the Master of Architecture in Britain directly.
In Britain, to apply for a master's degree in architecture, you need a first-class certification from royal institute of british architects. For domestic undergraduate graduates, it is definitely impossible to obtain this certification directly. Therefore, in most cases, the application materials are sent directly to the school (architectural works need to be submitted), and the school will carry out intermediate contact and assistance. If you can pass the certification of royal institute of british architects (RIBA) Part I 1 or the equivalent level, you can directly get the admission notice of Master of Architecture issued by the university, otherwise you need to study British architecture in the last year before you can successfully get the Bachelor of Architecture and RIBA Part I..
