What are the institutions with good architectural rankings in Britain and the United States? Students who plan to study abroad in architecture must first understand the professional preferences and styles of the architecture school when applying for a university with a high ranking architecture major. In your architecture study abroad works, you should reflect your own personality, innovation, and digital concepts. These are the most important aspects of the world ranking colleges of architecture in foreign countries, Today, let's take a look at the ranking of these outstanding architecture majors.

British and American Architecture Ranking:

　　 1、 Harvard University

Professional ranking: 1

Comprehensive ranking: 1

　　 2、 Cornell University

Major ranking: No. 2 in architecture

Comprehensive ranking: 21

Location: Ithaca, Finger Lake, upstate, New York

Cornell University undergraduate architecture, AAP's architecture department provides five-year professional courses to obtain a bachelor's degree in architecture.

The undergraduate course has well balanced the high intensity professional courses with the opportunity to use top university teaching resources. The instructors of the Architecture Department have developed a set of highly structured and intensive courses that emphasize design, theory, history, technology and expression. Basic concept skills and construction skills will be strengthened at the beginning. Students can exchange ideas through models and drawings, and they are skilled in various simulations and data. All students studied the core courses of architectural education in the first three years to lay a solid foundation. In the following four semesters, students were encouraged to carry out interdisciplinary learning, focusing on the course of thinking and logical reasoning.

Although most of the courses are directly related to architecture, students will also study another quarter of the courses in other colleges of Cornell University and other departments of AAP. Undergraduate students also have the opportunity to study in AAP's New York curriculum system after finishing their third year's study in Rome for one semester.

　　 3、 Cardiff University

Professional ranking: No. 4 in British architecture

Location: Cardiff, Wales, UK

Architecture BSc

Three year system, mainly based on basic courses of architecture, including architectural science and technology, architectural history and analysis, landscape and urban design, architectural economics and professional practice. Students are encouraged to practice what they have learned and develop their own architectural perspective and thinking style. Graduation can obtain Architect qualification certificate 。

Professionally, it has obtained the qualification certification of ARB and RIBA of the Royal Institute of Architects, and has a promising future.

　　 Application Experience

Cardiff accepts applications without gmat, but must take an exam at the school. After an hour of interview, basically 2/3 of the questions are from the applicant, and 1/3 of them are from him. I remind you that if you don't want to talk about the past or the future, you must be prepared early, because the atmosphere is relaxed and the questions are far and wide, it is easy to give adverse answers to yourself.

Studying abroad in architecture

Architecture major The major of Architecture in the UK mainly refers to architecture and architectural design.

　　 It mainly includes the following directions:

1. Architecture is mainly architectural design;

2. Architecture Studies is mainly academic research on architecture;

3. Urban Design and Planning is mainly urban design;

4. Landscape Design is mainly landscape design. Architectural design is the core specialty of architecture.

　　 The number of overseas architectural works should be few and excellent

Generally, there should be about five design projects in a portfolio, too many of which will be hard to remember, and too few of which will not reflect your ability effectively. Each project should reflect your design concept. American architecture schools attach great importance to ideas. So if you don't have specific ideas in design, you must make some when you make a collection of works. The idea should be distinct, personalized, and run through the whole design. Generally speaking, there is no limit to the form of works in the works collection, including two-dimensional and three-dimensional works. The works should be those of nearly two years. It is better to have diversified forms and styles, which are reflected in 2D and 3D, and different material painting methods (sketch, watercolor, pen, oil painting, etc.). Generally, the number should not exceed 20 pieces (one page for each piece), which should be printed in A4 size books.

　　 Focus on comprehensively reflecting your abilities in all aspects

It is better to have all kinds of materials in the collection that can reflect your understanding in all aspects. For example, sketch, conceptual drawings, plan view, perspective view, computer simulation, manual/computer rendering, construction details, etc. should be included as far as possible. It is not necessary to include all of these in every project, but it is better to focus on them in one work to reflect your understanding and balance in all aspects.

　　 Works collection should correspond to personal statement

If possible, the design thread of the best collection of works can be brought into the Personal Statement, and the two correspond to each other.

For example, your collection of works focuses on urban sustainable development, and your design projects reflect your ideas from different aspects. You should once again summarize its importance in the Personal Statement, so that your entire application corresponds to each other and enhances its impact. American architecture schools pay most attention to your ideas, so you must highlight your ideas.

　　 Instruction for selecting universities in architecture ranking:

1. There are generally two kinds of masters in British architecture, one is taught course, that is, teaching type, and the other is research course, that is, research type. It is difficult to apply for research-oriented courses. You need to have some research achievements in the professional field. Generally, you can apply for taught courses after going to graduate school.

2. In the UK, to apply for Master of Architecture, you need to be certified by the Royal Institute of Architects (RIBA) Level I Part 1. For domestic undergraduate graduates, most of them cannot directly obtain the certification.

Therefore, in most cases, the application materials are directly mailed to the school (architectural works need to be submitted), and the school will carry out intermediate liaison and assistance work. If you can pass the certification of Part 1 of the Royal Institute of Architects (RIBA) or the equivalent level, you can directly obtain the admission notice of the master of architecture issued by the university.

3. Or you can first study the last year of British undergraduate architecture, obtain a bachelor of architecture and obtain the certification of the Royal Institute of Architects (RIBA) Level I Part 1. Of course, there are also some universities that provide preparatory courses for graduate students in architecture. If you successfully complete this course, you can directly study architecture master in the corresponding university.

Today, students studying abroad in architecture introduced the universities and colleges ranked in architecture, the world rankings, and the application requirements and portfolio requirements of universities ranked in architecture, as well as the application experience. If you want to study abroad in architecture, please consult the training teacher of Natural Light Art's overseas work portfolio first.
