Architecture

About this course

On this course, you’ll develop skills and knowledge by tackling practical design projects. Projects are often set by external organisations, giving you real experience of working for a professional client. These projects take up at least 50% of your time on the course.

You’ll work in our purpose-built architecture studios, learning skills such as casting, pencil and charcoal rendering, detailed large-scale model making, computer-based graphics and CAD drawing.

You’ll examine the cultural, historical, social, sustainable, material and technical issues that concern architecture. Through design work, a thesis and a dissertation, you’ll be able to pursue your individual interests.
