Architecture

Learn how to design buildings and structures that make the world a better place. On this highly creative course, learn how to draw, model, write, and, above all, define and solve problems that have genuine social purpose, and directly improve lives. Gain an understanding of the histories and theories of architecture, design, structures, construction and design for sustainability, and an introduction to the professional skills necessary for professional practice. Develop your individual voice and flair in an environment that actively encourages and supports you in learning about the many different approaches, with a number of studios to choose from after Year 1. You’ll graduate with the skills and knowledge needed for the first stage of professional practical experience in an office before progressing to RIBA part 2 postgraduate study.
