Program Description

Students will take their first step to becoming registered architects on the Bachelor in Architecture (BA) degree course – accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).

94% of graduates in work or further study 15 months after this course

They will join a distinctive learning environment, with access to cutting-edge facilities, working on stimulating and client-driven design projects. They will master key design skills, from the scale of the body's interactions with materials and constructions, to the domains of cities and landscapes, engaging in social, cultural, political, aesthetic and environmental challenges of the world we're part of.

Students will focus, with a passionate and supportive community of professional architects, on the themes, values and methods relevant to architectural education and the profession to ensure their practice is future-proof and industry-standard.
