Explore how structures can enhance urban spaces, invigorate the environment and re-energise social areas with a degree in architecture.

Our courses combine practical and conceptual approaches to building design. They are grounded in theoretical knowledge, supported by inspiring spaces and fantastic architectural-specific facilities, including a digital and 3D workshop. You can choose between two pathways: studying urbanism, landscape, building planning, and construction, or exploring how individuals interact with spaces.

Kickstart your career with a BA (Hons) Architecture, accredited by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) for Part 1, allowing graduates to register on the UK architects’ register. Our excellent business links will also help with your early career development and increase your overall employability.
