Course summary
Develop and explore your architectural identity through studio-based learning. Start your journey to become an Architect in the UK.
Our course teaches you the practical and creative skills needed to explore, analyse and communicate architectural proposals. You’ll combine project work in design studios with studies in history, theory and the science of architecture. Through integrating all aspects of architecture, you’ll learn how to successfully control, compose and construct internal spaces and external forms.
During your degree, you’ll have the opportunity to work with civil engineering students on some projects. You’ll work collaboratively, combining knowledge to produce integrated design solutions. This cross-discipline teamwork gives you an insight into the design problems and professional relationships you could experience in your career.
Learn from experts in the field
You’ll learn from academics with expertise in architecture and the built environment, including innovative materials and sustainable design. Their international collaborations and research activities feed into undergraduate teaching and contribute to your learning experience. In each design project, you'll learn from specialist tutors, many of whom are practising architects.
Use specialist facilities
Our 4 East South building houses purpose-built research and teaching space for our architecture students. You'll have access to design studios to support your architectural work in drawing and modelling. Our students have secure storage, access to printing, plotting, integrated review spaces with digital presentation facilities, and access to kitchens. You'll also have access to undergraduate workshops for model making through traditional means, as well as a wide range of CAD/CAM machines with staff available to help and advise on your projects.
Start your future here
A degree at Bath can open many career opportunities to you. You’ll graduate able to evaluate materials, processes and techniques used in complex architectural designs and building construction. This along with your creative and analytical skills will prepare you to pursue a career as an Architect or other design-related roles.

Access to HE DiplomaDistinction: 39
We welcome applications from mature students who have significant work experience in a relevant field and who can demonstrate evidence of recent study in a relevant subject area. Your work experience and recent study will need to demonstrate both numerical and art and design skills.
Applicants offering an Access to HE Diploma (generally in science or engineering, with significant work experience in an art/design field or an additional art/design qualification) would typically be expected to pass the Access to HE Diploma with at least 39 credits achieved at Distinction. We may specify particular units in which Distinctions must be achieved.
Your application would need to include evidence of strong mathematical ability at Level 3: this may be achieved through achieving grade A in Maths or Physics A level or by achieving credits at Distinction in mathematical units of an Access to HE Diploma course.
