A student who is graduating from her BA Architecture degree this summer has looked back on how support from Harrow College set her up for success.
How to go from GCSE Maths to Architecture degree?
Pragna Navinkumar first came to Harrow College to study Vocational Studies Entry 3 alongside GCSE Maths.
She then went on to complete a UAL Level 2 Diploma in Art and Design, and a UAL Level 3 Extended Diploma in Architecture, Interior, and Product Design.
After graduating from the college, Pragna studied BA Architecture at De Montfort University in Leicester.
How did your studies at Harrow College prepare you for university?
Pragna said: “Because I had already studied architecture, I possessed the basic skills required for my first year at university, which meant I was a step ahead of my peers. It also helped me better understand the subject from day one, as I was already familiar with the industry terminology and the work of well-known architects.”
How did staff support you during your education?
Pragna said: “The Harrow College staff were always supportive and guided me to create quality work.
All of the workshops, teaching sessions, technical support, one-to-one tutorials, and constant feedback helped me broaden my knowledge and encouraged me to pursue a career in architecture.
They also helped me immensely with my UCAS application and personal statement.”
