There are 2 approaches when it comes to studying architecture at university.

Option 1:

you could study an A Level programme featuring Maths, Physics and Art. This will help prepare you for the engineering aspects, project management and cultural contexts of studying at university. Although the creative course is called ‘art’ it can be explored within the design pathway.

 

Option 2:

So long as you already have GCSE Maths & English you could study a full-time programme at level 3 which will broaden your creative problem solving skills. This course is called UAL Diploma in Creative Practice and it will prepare you for university.

 

Though maths & physics is desirable for completing the full university degree, there are many more types of employment within the built environment which the Creative Practice course could help you progress. Either method, the art dept has a long history of helping students obtain offers from reputable universities from either route described above
