Architecture

If you desire to understand the relationship between people and the natural world, to learn how to improve the environment and to design the buildings of the future, then architecture is the course for you.
The practice of architecture requires a unique combination of creative, analytical and personal skills. Our course establishes the cultural, environmental and technical framework and provides you with abilities in the analytical processes, research techniques and communication methods needed for architecture.
BA (Hons) Architecture is accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and prescribed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB), leading to an exemption from the RIBA’s Part 1 examination, the first step towards a professional qualification.
