Architecture - BA (Hons)

Great news, we’ve made you an offer and would now like to invite you to submit a digital portfolio for our BA (Hons) Architecture course (UCAS code K102)

Visit our website to find out more about studying at the Leeds School of Arts.

To make your portfolio stand out, we’re looking for evidence of creativity and design skills. We understand that you may not have studied a design related course before, but we would like to see a range of development and finished work which may include sketches, drawings, paintings, collage or mixed media, photography, sculpture or model or product design.

We want to see how you have explored a given brief and how the work has developed, so your portfolio can also include work from sketchbooks.

Portfolio pages should be compiled into a single pdf of up to 15 pages with a maximum file size of 10mb.

You’ll have 4 weeks from the date of our request to upload your digital portfolio. No hard copies can be accepted by post.

The course team will review your portfolio and an updated offer will show on your UCAS Hub.
