Course summary

Providing the first step to becoming a fully qualified architect, our Architecture (International) (RIBA Part 1) BA(Hons) degree runs alongside our suite of built environment courses and can help prepare you for a great career. There’s never been a more interesting or important time to become an architect.

There are two strands to this course: Architecture, and Architecture International. In the final year, you can opt for a Home or International Design Studio. The environmental and social nature of the course means that you’ll experience ideas and influences that are as diverse as they are creative.
