This two-year course gives you the opportunity to explore architecture in a broad-based manner through theoretical and practical work. It demands a high level of design ability and self-motivation while giving you the chance to explore and develop projects related to your own interests.
Youll appraise current theoretical approaches to architecture and urban design then assess and show their relevance in existing and proposed contexts. Youll also develop and demonstrate formal and technical architectural ability.
If you obtain all diploma credits at first sitting you'll have the opportunity to proceed to Masters, thus converting your Diploma into a MArch. This requires an extra three months of study.
What you'll study
As well as the areas of study you'll:
develop a critical and technical architectural ability
complete comprehensive architectural or urban design projects
write a dissertation
demonstrate awareness of management procedures relevant to design practice
carry out a detailed examination of an issue or issues of particular architectural significance
Careers
Career opportunities for Architecture graduates range from working in large multidisciplinary practices to smaller specialist firms.
Many of our graduates are employed by highly respected practices throughout the world, while others have set up their own businesses.
The Department has a growing reputation for developing entrepreneurial graduates who go on to make their mark in the sector independently in practices such as Page and Park, Tog Studio and Lateral North.
Normally, a first-class or second-class honours degree in Architecture would be required.
If you hold overseas qualifications obtained outside the EU or hold a non-recognised UK qualification you will need to pass ARBs Examination for Equivalence to Prescribed Qualifications (also known as the ‘Prescribed Examination) to obtain ARB Part 1 and progress towards registering as an architect in the UK. Please note, this is not guaranteed and there is a financial cost to this process. Learn more from the ARB website.
An academic portfolio will be required containing all relevant design work from your previous course of study to provide a broad range of work to evidence your depth of skillset. While work from practice placement or experience can be included, the balance of the portfolio should be towards examples of academic work.
