    Hi everyone, I stopped studying architecture about 3 months in (there's a whole separate video about that on my channel) and please bare in mind I made this video 3 years ago! Please can I ask that you stop emailing/messaging me asking for portfolio advice etc. If you have any queries the best people to ask are the course leaders you are directly applying to. Good luck everyone :)

    @SmeeGuitar Před 4 lety +42

    good luck with your studies :) We didn't have to send something like this. I've finished my studies and got my own practice now (I'm 30). Sometimes I work as professor Assistant and I can tell you when we get portfolios probably the logo design you did is the most interesting. You should focus mostly on things that show your creativity, as skill can be learned and most know it anyway. So advice to all the young ones: Show only your best work,. show creative stuff that interests you. Professors and unis wanna see inovation and creativity, not what everyone has done before. sending in your minecraft and SIMS houses is actually a good idea!

    My biggest take away from your video was your places that inspired you page. Designing your portfolio, immediately people know to start gathering all their previous artwork but I didn't even think to add something like that, which you have. Great thinking outside the box idea. I'm definitely going to use that for my portfolio.

It got me an unconditional offer in spite of that I didn't meet some other requirements, like my extended maths grade or one low IELTS component in writing (5.0). Here are universities I've applied onto (all K100 Architecture):
    Newcastle University (firm, unconditional)
    De Montfort University (insurance, unconditional)
    Coventry University (conditional, declined by me)
    University of Plymouth (conditional, declined by me)
    University of Strathclyde (unsuccessful, applied by UCAS Extra - no vacancies left)
