INTRODUCTION

IN A NUTSHELL
Architects are highly-valued professionals, working with governments, engineers, construction partners and design practices throughout the world to shape our cities and the built environment. As an architect, your work will inspire others, as you design new buildings and public spaces, and reinvent, restore and conserve existing ones.

If you are looking for a degree - and future career - that combines creativity, design and critical thinking, look no further than our BSc (Hons) Architecture degree course.

Our three-year BSc (Hons) Architecture course is carefully designed to nurture your development and prepare you for practice. With unconditional Part 1 validation from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB), this course is the first step to becoming an unstoppable chartered architect.
