Outreach Mentorship Programme
Architecture Mentorship for Future BArch Students
Portfolio guidance, application strategy, and honest support from (Part 1) Architecture Graduates who recently navigated the journey.
Why This Exists
Making the pathway into architecture more accessible.
The future of architecture should be shaped by talent, creativity and ambition, not by access to connections or insider knowledge.
AAM was established to make the pathway into architecture more transparent, accessible and inclusive. We recognise that many aspiring students begin their journey without the guidance, resources or support networks that can make the application process more manageable.
Our mission is to reach students who have the passion but not the access to guidance, opportunities or professional connections, widening participation by providing trusted resources, mentoring and practical advice that empower them to make informed decisions and confidently pursue futures in Architecture and other STEM fields that help shape our society.
“The hardest part was not knowing if I was on the right track. Having someone who has been through it makes all the difference.”
— Former mentee, now successfully going on to study Architecture at Loughborough University
