Course summary

The BA (Hons) Architecture at Suffolk is a forward-thinking, interdisciplinary programme of study. With us you learn Architecture as a driver for global and situated culture, underpinned by three principles: ecologies, pedagogies and technics. You will study how to design buildings, spaces, and urbanities, resilient and adaptive to rapid environmental, social and economic change. With your architecture, you will address people’s needs and modes of life on a macro to micro scale by means of critical and creative practice.

You will be taught by qualified Architects educated to the highest level, trained in a variety of contexts they will enrich your student experience with diverse cultural and professional references. With us, you will engage in world-leading events and current discussions about the future of architecture.

Our BA (Hons) Architecture is prescribed with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) as Part 1 and is an RIBA candidate course. Successful completion of our full-time three-year undergraduate degree carries exemption from the ARB/RIBA Part 1, which is the first stage in qualifying as an architect. Only those who complete all three parts of the ARB/RIBA requirements, will be able to register as an architect in practice in the UK.
