Architecture Interview Preparation Guide

£32.50

Do you know what to expect in your Cambridge or Bartlett (UCL) Architecture interviews?

How similar would the Cambridge interviews be to Architecture interviews at other top Russell Group universities?

Have you practised answering a range of university Architecture interview questions?

Cambridge interviews often feel like a daunting task as it’s hard to predict what will come up. However, they are crucial in determining the outcome of your application. A strong interview performance just might secure you a place to study Architecture at a top UK university, e.g. Cambridge or Bartlett (UCL).

This is an essential Architecture interview preparation guide, prepared by U2's Cambridge Architecture tutors. We walk you through how to prepare to ensure you stand out and increase your chances of success, as well as providing numerous tips on presenting yourself and crafting a strong portfolio, analysing problems, and communicating effectively during the interview itself.

Core components of U2 Tuition's Cambridge Architecture interview preparation guide:

  • The first section of our 26-page guide is dedicated to giving an in-depth explanation of the core topics in the Cambridge Architecture courses and what an Architecture degree entails, including an outline of a typical week.

  • The guide then walks you through how to build evidence of wider subject exploration. This is ideal for crafting a strong Architecture personal statement and to allow you to convey your enthusiasm for your subject at interview. Our Cambridge Architecture tutors lead you through key course topics, recommended readings (primary and secondary material), and how to make good use of available online resources. Each resource recommendation comes with a thinking task to get you thinking critically in advance of the interview. Ideally, this process should start at least a few months before your Cambridge or Bartlett Architecture interview to allow time to explore enough resources and material.

  • How to prepare for personal-statement-based interview questions: Your personal statement for Architecture may be used as a springboard for discussion in at least one of your interviews! For example, if you talk about your subscription to The Architects’ Journal, you may be asked to discuss an article from the most recent edition. U2’s Cambridge Architecture Interview Preparation guide will help you predict these questions and how to enhance your preparation.

  • What to expect in your academic interviews, including accounts from two successful Cambridge Architecture candidates. Each account provides insight int he Cambridge Architecture interview process and the topics and questions they were asked, including questions related to their personal statements.

  • Cambridge interview preparation tips and core concepts to understand.

  • Longer worked-through past Cambridge Architecture interview questions: Four in-depth practice interview questions with discussion points and further reading suggestions. These cover key topics such as “Urban Forms in Cities,” “The Role of Architects,” “The Impact of Building Design,” and “The Use of Light,” all likely Cambridge interview topics.

  • A bank of additional past Architecture interview questions for university applicants: 40 further questions covering topics such as History, Contemporary/Architectural News, General Design, and general/Cambridge Architecture personal statement questions (e.g. “Why Architecture?”) to ensure you are prepared to excel at the most common Cambridge interview questions.

  • Final tips and strategies to put you in the best position for success in your Cambridge or top University Architecture Interviews.
