My program when I entered was in the top 5 in the world and was the best choice for me when I considered tuition fees, employment statistics (post-graduation), the program structure, and support available for the students. It is been interesting. There definitely been times where i did not enjoy myself, but overall a positive experience.
Course Curriculum
It's pretty good. to be honest it's very euro-centric, which was a bit jarring for me since I come from southeast Asia. But the course educates me on all aspects of architecture and gives opportunities for employment and industrial exposure.
Exams
I had to submit portfolios for every single university I applied to, write a personal statement, and get a reference from 2 teachers. In my personal statement, I emphasized my work experience and how it inspired me to choose this career path. I had to submit portfolios.
Placement
It is okay. in my course, it's expected you will find a job by yourself using the avenues provided by the university.
Events
It is good. Theres always events going on, and loads of places to socialise and meet people.
Fees
GBP 22000
Scholarship
No
Faculty
It is decent I think. It's about 9 students to a tutor. They are all very nice, but it can feel alienating if you arent from the UK.
Hostel
No, private accommodation, i pay about GBP 150 a week.
