BA Hons Architecture

Architects design the world around us and influence the way people live and work. On this Architecture degree – accredited by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) – you’ll learn how to design buildings and play a role in shaping cities and communities.

You’ll use the latest software in our studios and develop the model making, sketching, drawing and team-working skills you need in your career as an architect.

You’ll also work on real projects with our in-house architectural practice and have the chance to use your skills and knowledge on a year-long work placement, working with and learning from professional architects.

After your course, you can continue your journey to become a registered architect. You could also follow past graduates into careers as landscape architects, interior designers and architectural technologists, or work in planning or historic building conservation.

A levels – AAA–AAB
UCAS points – 136–144 points to include a minimum of 3 A levels or equivalent (calculate your UCAS points)
BTECs (Extended Diplomas) – DDD

English language proficiency at a minimum of IELTS band 6.0 with no component score below 5.5.

Many graduates on this course continue their architect training with paid, mentored professional experience in a practice, before studying at postgraduate level for a Master of Architecture degree. 

You can use your skills in areas such as design practice, planning and historic building conservation. 

Past students, having completed their registration, have gone on to run their own practices. For example, Simon Astridge Architecture Workshop, DMWA and PCA.

After you leave the University, you can get help, advice and support for up to 5 years from our Careers and Employability service as you advance in your career.
