Course summary

Our three-year BA Architecture degree provides a balance of theory, design work and professional experience. Lectures give you a broad-based understanding of architecture, and draw on the sciences and humanities. You'll be taught by experts who are at the forefront of their respective fields. You'll then apply your knowledge to the studio through a series of design projects. Projects develop in scale and complexity until the major design project at the end of the third year, which addresses a range of cultural, technological, conceptual and representational ideas. Our studio acts as a laboratory for trialling your creative and critical ideas, and for developing fundamental architectural skills. You'll share ideas during group tutorials, review other students' work, and begin to develop your personality as a designer. Practising architects join our staff during studio classes, and bring with them topical ideas and skills from the world of architecture. The design teaching teams incorporate practicing architects and professional academics from a broad range of architectural backgrounds. Recognised by the Royal Institute of British Architects as giving exemption from RIBA Part 1.
