Expected Academic Standard
Applicants for this course should have achieved a Good II.i Honours Degree.
If your degree is not from the UK, please check International Qualifications to find the equivalent in your country.
We welcome applications from students with a variety of backgrounds and professional experiences. As part of our admissions process, you’ll need to meet certain requirements and make sure you’re able to attend teaching sessions in the UK.
Standard entry requirements
Typically, we expect a good undergraduate degree in Architecture, such as a 2.1 from an ARB-prescribed Part 1 course in the UK or its international equivalent. It is however possible to apply with a degree in a related subject where the applicant can demonstrate a proven aptitude for Architecture.
If your degree is not from the UK, check international qualifications on the University’s postgraduate website to find the equivalent in your country.
Non-standard applications
If you do not meet the standard entry requirements, we still encourage you to apply. You’ll need to show you have relevant, professional experience that makes you a strong candidate, and/or have completed higher-level study. Please include this information when you apply.
Short-listed applicants will be interviewed and expected to present a portfolio at interview. Evidence of exceptional ability in studio work is essential. Please email your Digital Portfolio (max size 50mb, preferably PDF) which should include examples of work you are most proud of, including some recent projects, examples of University work as well as in practice (if applicable) to architecture@pace.cam.ac.uk.
