BA (Honours) Architecture with Foundation in London United Kingdom | University of Westminster

Our Foundation year degree programs provide a pathway to prepare students for advanced studies before transitioning to a complete honors degree at the University of Westminster.

Whether you seek to enhance your knowledge and skills for degree-level education or wish to shift your academic focus, we welcome diverse students to undertake our Foundation year as a stepping stone to a full honors degree with us.

The Architecture and Design Foundation year introduces students to creative professions that influence interior, building, and urban design. Through hands-on projects, you'll explore spatial, technical, and cultural concepts while building fundamental skills and creative approaches for advanced study. The initial semester starts with investigating urban space design and habitation, followed by a materials project in our state-of-the-art Fabrication Laboratory at the Marylebone campus. Concurrent studio and field exercises will refine your drawing and creative abilities. The second semester features a project redesigning existing spaces, culminating in a self-directed creative work. Foundation students may showcase their projects in the School of Architecture and Cities summer exhibition. Throughout both semesters, academic modules will strengthen your writing and critical thinking abilities alongside practical development.
