Encompassing planning and pre-design, design, construction, operation and re-construction, our BSc (Hons) Architecture degree brings together the built environment in a collaborative and imaginative way.

The course promotes an action learning approach, with a focus on the workplace and current practice-based developments.

In year one, you'll develop a core understanding of architectural spatiality and the relationship between form/space/material/tectonics.

Studio-based modules will be complemented by lecture and seminar based modules which will challenge you to think creatively and form your own ideas.

During year two you will consider the performance of buildings from different perspectives and learn how to design according to performance criteria, linking this with conceptual frameworks.

As the year progresses, the focus of design moves to a more urban scale, history and theory.

There is also an optional overseas study visit.

In your final year, you'll combine and apply all of the theoretical, technical and creative skills you've developed throughout the course in an architectural design project.

Final year modules will also prepare you for the second stage of your architecture education.

Architects are highly valued in many sectors and work widely throughout the sector, including architectural practices (i.e. Foster and Partners, KPF, etc.), design and engineering consultancy firms (Arup, Buro Happold, BDP, etc).

Architects are also sought after by central government, local authorities, property developers, building contractors, housing associations, financial institutions, major retailers and manufacturing companies.
