BA (Hons) Architecture

Our highly creative degree programme, accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and Architects Registration Board (ARB), offers students a wide foundation of architectural knowledge. You will learn to draw, model, write, and, above all, define and solve problems that have genuine social purpose.
You will study the exploration of design; review the histories and theories of architecture; and investigate structures, construction, and design for sustainability.
Studying with us will help you determine your own interests and find your individual voice. We will also introduce you to the necessary skills for professional practice.
