Architectural teaching and learning is distinguished by the central role of the design project and the design process. You’ll attend lectures and seminars, but the course is project-oriented at heart. You’ll also get involved in group work and semi-public and public presentations (known as project reviews or crits).

Design activities will take place in our studio, where you’ll have a base. Here you’ll regularly meet your tutors to discuss your project work and review your designs.

As well as spending time in the studio and lecture theatres, you’ll learn by working on live projects and live builds with industry professionals.

Our assessment methods include coursework, papers, exams, reports and essays. You’ll also build up a portfolio of work which demonstrates your knowledge and skills, including presentation materials and 3D artefacts.
