First-year studio modules build core design and presentation skills, while years 2 and 3 let you specialize by choosing from 12 studio units. Our unique vertical studios allow second and third-year students to collaborate, fostering peer learning and skill-sharing.Through diverse teaching methods including workshops, field trips, and real-world projects with clients and experts, we prepare you for careers in architecture and design industries.University Park campus provides outstanding resources including dedicated studios, workshops, and technical support. Our students' exceptional work has earned prestigious awards like the AJ Student Prize 2021, RIBA Bronze Medal (2017), and RIBA Serjeant Award for Excellence in Drawing (2020).The path to becoming a registered architect continues after the BArch with one year of professional experience, followed by our two-year MArch program (ARB/RIBA Part II) and additional industry experience leading to the Part Three examination.RIBA-accredited, our degree serves as both the first step toward architecture licensure and a valuable qualification for careers in construction, property development, and creative industries.
