Imagination, investigation and innovation are the driving forces behind this course. Join us to explore a wide variety of approaches and discover areas that interest you. This is one of our flagship degrees and is recognised by the Royal Institute of British Architects and Architects Registration Board. You'll achieve the first qualification you need on your journey to becoming an architect. We take a hands-on approach, so you can expect us to push your creativity. Throughout the course, you'll focus on the process of making, and then reflect on what you've designed to boost your technical knowledge. You'll develop the skills all architects need, including drawing, model making and using computer-aided design.In the lecture theatre, you'll cover history, theory, technology and computing. To give you the support you need, our experienced tutors will run sessions with you individually or in a small group. Throughout the course, you'll develop your own creative style, and put together your own portfolio to showcase your talents to potential employers after you graduate. The core of architecture is the design studio, and the main emphasis of our course is developing your design ability. Since our key aim is to push your creativity and judgment to the maximum, you can expect the course to be highly demanding.The four-year course is perfect if you want a degree in architecture, but don't have the standard qualifications. We prepare you for your degree during your Foundation year, bringing you up to speed with academic skills and a firm grounding in advertising. Then you can go on to do the full undergraduate degree.
