Course summary

On our degree we'll help you find your career path in the built environment. Whether that's in architecture, urban design, urban planning, landscape architecture or other design-related professions.

Engage with the design processes and production of the architecture, urban spaces and landscapes that shape our lives.

Take inspiration from the work of innovative and radical designers and thinkers. Collaborate in the design of your environment and address climate change.

The programme includes modules spanning our research expertise in architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, urban planning and public participation in the built environment.

There are also optional modules in urban planning, sociology and geography.

Subject to choosing the required modules, we offer accredited pathways in Architecture or in Urban Design. Our Architecture pathway is accredited with the Architects Registration Board. Our Urban Design pathway is accredited with the Royal Town Planning Institute.

We also offer a route in Landscape Architecture via one year out in Landscape practice. This pathway facilitates entry onto a 1-year Master’s programme in Landscape Architecture (accredited by the Landscape Institute).

This course is available in Clearing. If you have submitted an application, you can add this course. If you haven’t sent us an application yet, you can do this until 24th September 2026.
