Architecture

What is architecture?

Architecture is the art and science of designing and creating buildings and important constructs such as bridges, while always taking into account the surrounding environment and aesthetic appearance. It is shaped by politics, economics, and fashions, and responds to the social life of cities and communities. You will explore housing design and urban planning, and look at how communities are shaped and developed. Most undergraduate architecture courses in the UK take a minimum of five years to complete and tend to lead towards a specialisation due to the broad nature of the subject.

What will I study?

Sample modules:

  • Habitat/Environment
  • Structures and Construction
  • Design and Communication
  • History of Architecture
  • Although many courses will touch on a wide range of subjects, including history, law, IT, technology and management, as well as a hefty design element, it is important students feel comfortable with maths, physics and design as most course modules will require a solid grounding in these three areas.
