Architecture, BArch (Hons)

Architects design buildings, spaces, and environments—including homes, schools, sports facilities, theatres, and hospitals—with a focus on new builds and existing structures emphasizing environmental sustainability. Our BArch course equips you to create spaces that enhance surroundings and contribute positively to the environment through an integrated curriculum blending technical, environmental sciences, humanities, and studio modules.Year 1 builds foundational design and presentation skills; Years 2-3 offer choice from up to 12 studios, vertical studios for peer mentoring, and hands-on teaching, workshops, study trips, and real client projects. Based at University Park with dedicated studios, workshops, and technical support, our RIBA-accredited program boasts top rankings (e.g., 7th in The Complete University Guide 2024), awards like AJ Student Prize 2021, and European field trips, preparing you for professional practice via post-BArch experience and MArch Part II.
