Architecture and Urban Planning BA Honours

About

Course overview

On our degree we'll help you find your career path in the built environment. Whether in architecture, urban design, planning, landscape or design related professions.

You'll engage with the design processes involved in the production of the architecture, urban spaces and landscapes that shape our everyday life.

You’ll also take inspiration from the work of innovative and radical designers and thinkers. Their approach encourages people to get involved in the design of their environment and address climate change.

The programme includes modules spanning our research expertise in architecture, urban design, landscape, planning and participation in the built environment.

There are also optional modules you can choose from in urban planning, sociology and geography.

We offer accredited pathways in Architecture (accredited with the Architects Registration Board) or in Urban Design (accredited with the Royal Town Planning Institute) if you choose the required modules during your studies.

We also offer a route in Landscape Architecture as our programme is recognised as a cognate discipline by the Landscape Institute.
