Course summary

Course overview

Our accredited Architecture BA Honours degree is your first step towards qualification as a professional architect, and you'll leave with your own design style and distinctive way of working.

You'll study topics that explore the cultural, historical and technological context of architectural design, and help you understand the implications of your design decisions. Our city will provide the ultimate case study for you, with an architectural legacy that few UK cities can rival.

Projects increase in complexity through the programme, gradually stretching your architectural thinking, skills and knowledge.

Professional accreditation

Our Architecture BA Honours degree is your first step towards qualifying as an architect. This degree is professionally accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB).

ARB accreditation will provide exemption from the RIBA Part 1. After which, you would need to complete four further years in work and study. At Newcastle, we offer all the qualifications to qualify as an architect, so you will not need to change universities or move away to complete your architectural education.

Teaching methods

Teaching is largely through studio design projects supported by lectures and personal research. A typical week will involve working in the studio, either in groups developing design projects or working independently.

Methods include:

  • tutorials and support
  • traditional lectures and seminars
  • site visits and library-based research

You'll be inspired by leading practitioners who deliver modules and studio-based teaching, as well as innovative architects, consultants and researchers.
