• Year 1 is centred on design studio projects which develop the central skills of observation, design, critical thinking, and representation, emphasizing the expression of ideas in three dimensions.
  • This is complemented by lecture-led explorations of the history and theory of architecture, the production of the built environment, and technology, as well as a field trip in the second term.
  • In Years 2 and 3, students join a design unit. Design units are communities of approximately fifteen students led by two tutors, which have a specific architectural agenda allowing students to develop personal architectural interests and to work with architecture in relation to subjects as diverse as craft, film, history, philosophy, and science.
  • Students’ studio work in Year 2 and Year 3 is complemented by core lectures, workshops, and seminar series in technology, history, theory, and professional studies.
  • Upon successful completion of 360 credits, students will be awarded a BSc (Hons) in Architecture.
