All applications are welcome. We follow a flexible and inclusive process when making offers.
At the initial stage of making your application you will receive one of the following decisions.
• Conditional offer you must meet specific conditions, which may be academic and/or non-academic conditions before you can be accepted on the course. If the conditions are met, the offer becomes unconditional.
• Unconditional offer this is made when you have met the specific conditions we’ve asked for.
• Unsuccessful we are not able to offer you a place on the course. We do not feel that you have demonstrated the necessary skills or experience to be successful at this time; however this does not prevent you from applying in future, should you undertake further study or develop your skills and experience.
All applicants who are made a conditional or unconditional offer at the application stage will be invited to a course discussion with a member of our architectural technology staff. This will be an on-line discussion during the current Covid-19 pandemic.
You will be sent a selection of up to date course information with the invite to attend a course discussion.
Attendance at the course discussion is fully optional, but it does provide you with the chance to receive a reduced UCAS points offer if we see that you are a good match for the course.
The discussion is an opportunity for you to find out more about the course and for us to get to know you as an individual. It helps if you can bring a portfolio to show your interest in Architectural Technology. This can be work that you have produced yourself or things that you have seen. The main thing is to bring something you are happy to talk about.
Most applicants do receive a reduced offer following the discussion.
We also consider other qualifications from the UCAS tariff. Applicants with alternative qualifications or a combination of qualifications and work experience will also be considered.
If English is not your first language, you will need an IELTS score of 6.0 with a minimum of 5.5 in all skills, or equivalent.
Meeting the qualification entry criteria does not guarantee you a place. You should ensure that you submit a personal statement and reference as these will also be considered as part of the selection process. We welcome applications from people of any age.
Please note the University will only admit students who are aged 18 or over at the point of enrolment.
