Portfolio advice for Masters of Architecture applicants

Portfolio Requirements

For the Master of Architecture course we’re looking for up to 12 examples of your current work. You don’t need to produce new work especially for your portfolio – just share whatever you have that showcases your skills and passion for architecture and design. 

You should, however, include your best undergraduate work, together with work and/or experience showing your formal background in architecture. Additionally, if you have them, examples of other creative activities that you feel will support your application, would be welcome. 

If it's not possible to bring your work in physical form, then the best thing to do is to save it (or photos of it) to a USB stick, as well as on the laptop/tablet you'll be bringing to your applicant day. Please make sure the work on your USB stick is not password protected, as we may ask you to leave it with us so we can review your portfolio without you present. 

You'll be invited to share your work with the course team at an Applicant Day. Our Admissions Team will invite you to book your place at one of our Applicant Days after you have applied. 

Use of AI 

Your portfolio must contain your own work. We understand that some of your portfolio may include work created in part or whole by AI. You must acknowledge this by adding ‘AI generated’ to the relevant section(s), stating how you used AI to create images, and adding a link to the original image with the date it was created (where possible).
