This is literally one of two useful videos on youtube for an archi undergraduate. Thank you so much. It would be cool if u did a day in my life at bartlett maybe
Thank you so much Alexandra! That means a lot to me :) And yes! I am planning on making more vlog content for my final year at the Bartlett since I don't think youtube has enough archi (Bartlett) content so hopefully that will be interesting for you! xxx
this video was so useful, thank you so much!! im currently in year 12 and hoping to be applying to the bartlett in a years-ish!!! i was wondering what a-level subjects you took and how you found your a-level experience? thank you!!
I'm so happy to hear it was helpful! I took art, physics, maths and further maths; and I quite enjoyed it to be honest, art was definitely the most time consuming but I loved it (should this be a video topic?). Wishing you all the best with your A-levels and uni application! :)
@@glorykuk thank you so so much!! your art is so gorgeous by the way!! im doing maths, physics, art & english lit at the moment! and yes, i'd love to see a video about your a-level journey or your a-level art, if you have time ofc!!
@@glorykuk hiya!! a year and a bit onwards, i just wanna say i managed to get accepted by the Bartlett!! i'm starting the MSci Architecture course in September :) thanks for being so inspiring glory xx
@@exteriorarchives Hi Congratulations!!! That is such a big achievement. I am also applying this year for UCL, do you think the earlier you apply the more chances you have of being accepted?
Your portfolio is awesome! I am really curious about what did you discuss with interviewer on interview, were it all about your portfolio? Frankly speaking your video helps me a lot!
Thank you so much, I am so glad the video was helpful! :) We mostly talked about my portfolio but he also asked me general and personal questions about myself and my thoughts on art/architecture.
This video was really helpful and your work was amazing! Are you able to make another video on your personal statement too? Because I am struggling to figure out what to write...especially as I spent most of my time at home due to COVID and was unable to complete any work experience/summer school. Thank you!
can you explain more about why you would think bartlett wouldnt want more architectural pieces? Im starting my portfolio now and trying to figure out what to include. your work is incredible !
First of all, thank you so much :) For me particularly, I think the case was that I didn't know what I wanted to do with my architectural pieces so they were very underdeveloped; I also think they have a clear agenda of what they think architectural projects should be like, so for people who haven't taken any official archi classes, I just thought it would be nice to stick to what you are familiar with and know you can develop with good ideas :)
This was really helpful! I don’t really know how to use CAD so I’ll probably stick with 3D Clay sculptures, digital art, drawings and paintings for my digital portfolio as I am currently studying an Art and Design course in college.😅
I like how Bartlett have Meng that COMBINED architecture and engineering. Even though it considered a UNDERGRAD degree( since it a entry degree that is four years instead of one or two years. And it accredited by BOTH architecture and engineering accreditation bodies in UK .
I also like how English universities DON'T require you to take general education classes AGAIN in college not just high school. Although I heard Scottish universities DO require general education classes ( although not as extensive as US universities).
This video was so soooooo helpful omg! Thank you so much for uploading this!!!!! Just one question what app did u do all of this on? So stressed and trying to put together a portfolio with everything I’ve got
Thank you sooo much for watching ☺️ I used keynote (apple’s version of PowerPoint for those who don’t use Mac) to piece them together and exported it as a PDF.
Thank you so much for this video, it is so helpful! I am hoping to apply to the Bartlett this year, would you recommend including observational architectural drawings in the portfolio? :)
I personally did not have any because I thought normal observational drawings of other things presented the same skillset. But if you could justify adding them in with more than just pure observational skills I think it'd be great :)
"If we ask you to send a digital portfolio, combine your pieces into one PDF document. It should be around ten pages and no larger than 10 MB." This is bartlett digital portfolio guideline. But you don't keep this guideline.(Pages of your porfolio is over than 10pages.) Is it fine? or have porfolio guideline changed?
Hello, I believe that the guideline changes every year depending on how the Bartlett wants to do it, so just go with what you think is best for your portfolio!
OK PORTFOLIOS EARLY APPLICATIONS ARE DUE IN ONE WEEK THIS HELPED SO MUCH THANK YOU!!! (Btw, did you compress your file or was it already under 5mb? lol)
Hi! I was wondering what tips can you give for making an art portfolio without taking art or DT? I can do art, I just unfortunately didn’t choose it for IB :/ thank you so much :) and your video was super helpful!
Hey! Thank you for liking the video :)) I think you will have to create your own art projects on the side, and just create pieces out of your own interest and passion. Find things around you that you can document and develop a project statement and why you want to do this project with this theme! Create several art projects, but the most important thing is that you are enjoying them!
for the portfolio can you put ur experimenting with other materials and tour final piece as well ? showing them or explaining after the ideas for the experimenting?
Hello, I know this seems out of the blue, I'm personally still at Year 12 A level Art. I have a question my portfolio, mostly consists of studying architecture and the response of multiple artists were still in development, but What I'm concerned about is that, most people do different themes, and I'm not sure if staying into one theme would achieve me a higher chance of Entering UCL. I'm also as well, (in the near future) adding a lot of physical designs of buildings, after I seen a glimpse into this video, I'm not really sure if my approach of not adding any other themes would guide me to the Dream Uni I always wanted to go. It would appreciated if somebody can help me out! Thank you!
Hey! I'm doing Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology for A levels. Can I still apply for architecture or would I need maths and art? Im in yr12 and I recently developed an interest in this course. How long does your portfolio have to be and is there a particular format, you need to follow?
art is a recommended subject to take. maths is an absolute requirement by all unis for an architecture degree! if you don't take art, unis usually rely on the standard of the artwork submitted in ur portfolio to judge if you're skilled/creative enough for the course.
Hello! Thank you so much for making this video, it was very helpful. I have also decided to apply ucl this year and I have quite a limited amount of 3D works for my portfolio where the guidelines said to have more than 3 pieces of 3D works, so I would like to ask if it okay if there's less 3D work than 2D works?
Well if they specifically mentioned it, it's best to check with admissions, although I remember it should be more of a rough guideline so I believe having less 3D is alright :)
I'm applying for Cambridge, Bath, UCL, and Sheffield too this year! (+ Manchester). I know this was posted 2 years ago but does anyone know how I would go about combining things in a portfolio? I've got two short physical portfolios from work experience at architectural companies, coursework from both art and Architecture A-level, work done outside of college (observational work, work inspired by architects, looking at problems in the architecture field etc), notes from art galleries, architectural lectures, and architectural events + competition projects. This will end up being incredibly lengthy but i want it all to be included... Any ideas on how to not accidentally create a PhD? Is it okay for it to be a bit all over the place? (I'm like half way through the video when I post this comment btw)
That was amazing. But I do have very important question. Guys we are applying for architecture, then why we should do irrelevant works? For example she she did the amazing bath girl? It’s awesome but this is irrelevant to ARCHITECTURE which is engineering structuring constructing and planning. I’m doing my portfolio and I’m wonder should I add some other art things (not necessarily an engineering one like she did for most of her portfolio)
Hey El Don! Thank you for watching and your nice compliments :) I would say that the most important thing is really to demonstrate your creative thinking process and skills, rather than making the projects seem 'architectural' because it is about the transferrable skills. Although this also depends on the school you are applying for, eg Bartlett focuses on your creativity and thinking, whereas bath might focus on the engineering side, hence they don't require a portfolio at all. Hope this helps!
@@glorykuk Thank you very much Glory I’m applying to University College London- Architecture- I don’t have any works like you do. (Bath girl art, etc) I love drawing and photography I will start doing my portfolio But I wonder what I should put in, as I said I don’t have any art works like you But I’m planning to put 5 architectural projects or 4. And I don’t know should I do that with models (is it necessary?)or only planned drawing and engineering ones. Also I will put some drawings of mine (Portraits, castles, etc..) I will put some brief creative and architectural essays (one or two) I will put some photography (non of them are architectural, they’re natural) And put my photography website (link) This is what I’m planning to do Am I in the green zone or no? Regards
@@eldon4905 I hope this comment will be helpful to other people watching as well - but I think it sounds like you have a cohesive structure ready to be laid out for your portfolio. I think all of those are okay - it just depends on the quality and thought process behind it - you can also refer to my portfolio do’s and don’ts video - hopefully that will be helpful too :)
Yes I applied with my AS grades; they will give you an offer with what A Level Grades they are expecting, same applies to all other unis and courses in the UK.
I'm glad it was helpful!! I didn't apply to the AA because I wanted a more wholistic uni experience where I get to meet other people from different courses, but tbh I feel like I was stuck in my architecture building most of the time anyways :'D
@@glorykuk so for the bartlett architecture course, before the interview selection, they email applicants with a design task that needs to be completed within 2 weeks and uploaded on the UCL portal. i was just wondering if you did one?
Just keep sketching! Only thing you can do the improve is just keep practicing - so whenever you are doing projects, sketch out your ideas to improve your sketching skills!
hey, i’m in y12 and i’m considering applying for architecture… i’m predicted an A* in art and A*AA overall but i don’t do maths or physics only core maths, but i got an 8 in gcse for both. do u reckon there’s any chance of me getting into an architecture course? :/
It depends what uni you apply to. Some unis require a maths or physics a level, but most unis only require knowledge of maths or physics to at least a good GCSE standard. Check the unis you're applying to further requirements
Lol i don't even do a levels I do a btec level 3 in architecture, but have a 5 in maths and 6 in science. They care more about ur portfolio, unless u apply to a high rank/ russel group uni.
MY FIRST EVER NEW E-BOOK IS AVAILABLE! Ahhh so excited! Thank you soooo much for watching! glorykuk.wixsite.com/portfolio/product-page/a-guide-for-applying-to-architecture Update: My E-Book is no longer available on my website - if you would like a copy, please send me an email at glorykukyt@gmail.com or send me a DM on Instagram @glory.kuk
I'm assuming you mean the science magazine poster? It was the first time I did digital art so in hindsight I would not use the software I used, but if you want to know it was firealpaca - hope it helps! :)
Hi Glory , thank you so much for your useful video!! Is your portfolio your A level art project or mixed between your own work and your a levels and GCSE?
Do you think it’s necessary to do a physics a level, i want to do graphics and maths but I’m not sure if I should do physics as I don’t rlly enjoy it but I want to get into a good architecture school.
if a book genuinely made an impression on you, you can definitely write about it. I was asked about the books I wrote on my PS during my Cambridge interview, but did not talk about them during my Bartlett interview.
Hello Glory! I'm also from HK applying to pretty much the same unis u have for architecture. The video is really helpful :) I'd like to ask what software/app did you use to make your portfolio? (I'm terrible at tech so I'm not sure) Thank you so much!
Hey. What kind of questions were you asked at interview? I’m scared they will ask me a q that I have no idea how to answer☠️ Do you think I should add much writing in the portfolio (mine is virtual) love the video xx
Thank you for loving the video Ella! :) Definitely don't add too much writing to the virtual portfolio, especially if it is descriptive, but you can elaborate more on the ideas. The type of questions they ask are really dependent on your portfolio and yourself (I forgot if they asked anything related to my personal statement), so just be really familiar with your work and why you want to study there! Also you can check out my portfolio tips video if you want some more help with piecing together a portfolio :)
hey so I’m also taking maths, art, physics(+philosophy) and I’m looking to apply for architecture at Bath,Cardiff, and Sheffield too.What do you think helped getting accepted by them and also why didn’t you choose them? :)-also if you are comfortable with it, what offers did u get and what grades did u get?
Hey! I think Bath focuses more on the grades and your personal statement since there’s no portfolio required. Cardiff and Sheffield are kind of in the middle where they focus on both PS and your digital portfolio (where I emphasize on the process of the work). I didn’t choose them in the end because I preferred the bartlett course curriculum more in the end. I mentioned the offers I got in the video, which is all of the schools u mentioned + bartlett and I got 4 A*’s for all my subjects - hope this helps! :) thanks for watching
Hey I want to apply for UCL architecture when I grad high school. But right now as a grd 10 student, I find it difficult to have good grades this year, I’m predicting a 80-90 averge on most subjects this year, giving my more Bs than As probably… do you think this would put me in a big disadvantage? Is grd10 grades really looked at at UCL? I’m striving for a outstanding portfolio though I have not worked on it yet, but I really wanna know if a average (maybe even a bit low??) grd 10 mark will affect me a lot. What grades did u have grd 10-12? (If u don’t mind me asking)
Hi! Thanks for watching :) I'm not sure what type of exams you are taking so I am not sure about the grades you are speaking of :/ However in my opinion I do think Bartlett puts more emphasis on the portfolio compared to the grades, so do strive for a good portfolio! I took A-Levels and I got 4 A*s, but Bartlett only requires AAB. Hope this helps!
Hi! I'm currently applying to UCL engineering and architectural design, just wanna ask what UCL's requirements for the portfolio were for u. Bc they asked me to provide 10 pages of portfolio. idk whether I should put more pages than 10. Thank you very much
Hey Glory, I loved your video I've rewatched it at least 10 times, you're work and creative ability are so inspiring! I wanted to ask u if including a few physical pieces or even none would put me at a disadvantage, I've done only one physical piece so far related to interior architecture even tho I think the idea behind it is great, i don't really know if they'd hate it cuz its architectural

if a book genuinely made an impression on you, you can definitely write about it. I was asked about the books I wrote on my PS during my Cambridge interview, but did not talk about them during my Bartlett interview.
@@glorykuk alright thanks!
Hello Glory! I'm also from HK applying to pretty much the same unis u have for architecture. The video is really helpful :) I'd like to ask what software/app did you use to make your portfolio? (I'm terrible at tech so I'm not sure) Thank you so much!
Hey. What kind of questions were you asked at interview? I’m scared they will ask me a q that I have no idea how to answer☠️ Do you think I should add much writing in the portfolio (mine is virtual) love the video xx
Thank you for loving the video Ella! :) Definitely don't add too much writing to the virtual portfolio, especially if it is descriptive, but you can elaborate more on the ideas. The type of questions they ask are really dependent on your portfolio and yourself (I forgot if they asked anything related to my personal statement), so just be really familiar with your work and why you want to study there! Also you can check out my portfolio tips video if you want some more help with piecing together a portfolio :)
So the substance abuse images are supposed to represent the visual disorientation & confusion experience of which drugs?
Hey just wanted to ask if the internship you did was in the UK if yes then can you pls tell me. Thank you so much
Sorry, it was not from the UK, but hopefully the video was still helpful!
@@glorykuk yes thank you the video was Great!😁
hey so I’m also taking maths, art, physics(+philosophy) and I’m looking to apply for architecture at Bath,Cardiff, and Sheffield too.What do you think helped getting accepted by them and also why didn’t you choose them? :)-also if you are comfortable with it, what offers did u get and what grades did u get?
Hey! I think Bath focuses more on the grades and your personal statement since there’s no portfolio required. Cardiff and Sheffield are kind of in the middle where they focus on both PS and your digital portfolio (where I emphasize on the process of the work). I didn’t choose them in the end because I preferred the bartlett course curriculum more in the end. I mentioned the offers I got in the video, which is all of the schools u mentioned + bartlett and I got 4 A*’s for all my subjects - hope this helps! :) thanks for watching
@@glorykuk Thank you for the reply! Your video and reply has been very helpful, wishing you the best :))
Which universities would you say are more math based vs art based ?
UCL is definitely the most art-based one; Bath is the most engineering-focused one.
Did UCL require a physical portfolio or are digital portfolios accepted.
It will depend on covid and admissions now, which I am not sure. When I applied it was all physical but I am not sure now.
Hey I want to apply for UCL architecture when I grad high school. But right now as a grd 10 student, I find it difficult to have good grades this year, I’m predicting a 80-90 averge on most subjects this year, giving my more Bs than As probably… do you think this would put me in a big disadvantage? Is grd10 grades really looked at at UCL? I’m striving for a outstanding portfolio though I have not worked on it yet, but I really wanna know if a average (maybe even a bit low??) grd 10 mark will affect me a lot. What grades did u have grd 10-12? (If u don’t mind me asking)
Hi! Thanks for watching :) I'm not sure what type of exams you are taking so I am not sure about the grades you are speaking of :/ However in my opinion I do think Bartlett puts more emphasis on the portfolio compared to the grades, so do strive for a good portfolio! I took A-Levels and I got 4 A*s, but Bartlett only requires AAB. Hope this helps!
I thought you were Kuki
Wow keren de
Hi! I'm currently applying to UCL engineering and architectural design, just wanna ask what UCL's requirements for the portfolio were for u. Bc they asked me to provide 10 pages of portfolio. idk whether I should put more pages than 10. Thank you very much
And what alevels did you do
Art, Physics, Maths, Further Maths.
Hey Glory, I loved your video I've rewatched it at least 10 times, you're work and creative ability are so inspiring! I wanted to ask u if including a few physical pieces or even none would put me at a disadvantage, I've done only one physical piece so far related to interior architecture even tho I think the idea behind it is great, i don't really know if they'd hate it cuz its architectural
you are GLOWING
Thank you sm angel! 🙈😂 really?? No one has ever said that compliment to me before hahaha thank you though 💕🙈
Wo,so good.
