PPD3 Final Assesment

Now i'm on my last year of my foundation degree, the time is coming to apply for University. Having already applied for University two years ago, I already know what courses I will be applying for. I'm looking to apply for Architecture mainly, but also Interior Design.

I haven't gathered as much information this time round as i did during my time at 6th form, where i visited several open days and ordered quite a few prospectuses from many universities across the country. One thing i have done this year, is attend the open days for the universities which i want to go to, this being Huddersfield and Leeds Met, I also went to the 'Design Your Future' event held by UCAS at Manchester.

 

For me this was a really good trip because I got to talk one to one with tutors from the respected Universities for Architecture. As I'm trying to get onto the course in the second year, this gave me a great platform as to work with. I have already established a base with Carl Meddings, the course leaders at Huddersfield about entering on the second year, and on the UCAS event day, I got to speak to another tutor at Huddersfield who gave me some advice on what my portfolio should be like. Aswell as a platform being created with Huddersfield, I spoke to the Architecture representitive from Leeds Met, Craig Stott. The conversation I had with him was pretty similar to the one I've been having with Carl, I told him of my intentions of entering in the second year and asked about what he'd wna see portfolio-wise and they both gave me the same answer, "Design Cycle and Process!" When I got home from the UCAS event, I emailed Craig and we got the ball rolling on my next step after Calderdale College.

 

I've arranged to see Carl Meddings in a couple of weeks, and I'm just waiting to hear back from Leeds Met now, so hopefully good news will follow!
