Mentorship Programme

Architecture Mentorship for Future BArch Students

Portfolio guidance, application strategy, and honest support from someone who recently navigated the journey.

Why This Exists

The application process can feel isolating

When I was applying to architecture school, I had questions no one could answer. How do I structure a portfolio with no formal training? What do admissions tutors actually look for? How do I talk about design in an interview?

This programme exists because I remember that uncertainty. Now, having completed my architecture degree, I want to offer the guidance I wished I had.

“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 studying at Loughborough University
