Objectives
The Architecture degree is your first step towards a professional career in Architecture (RIBA Part I). We offer a broad-based design degree that typically leads to RIBA Part II and III within the department. Our commitment is to provide you with a dynamic, challenging and supportive environment. You are encouraged to investigate and develop your ideas through drawing, photography, film, video, CAD and computer-based explorations; model-making and workshop-based fabrications; and installations.

Entry requirements
Applicants should have 240 points from two or more A-levels but we also admit students with relevant academic/professional experience, including equivalent overseas qualifications. We look for potential in spatial design, creative imagination and visual or constructive aptitude, together with motivation and ability to complete the course. We normally ask candidates to attend an interview and present a portfolio of work. See our website for further details
