    About

    BA Architecture is an innovative collaboration between Manchester Metropolitan University and The University of Manchester.

    The course, which is accredited by the Royal Institute for British Architects (RIBA), allows you to take the first step to becoming an architect.

    You will benefit from the expertise of specialist practice and research-active lecturers, who provide a rich and stimulating environment in which to study architecture.

    What's more, you'll be inspired by the world-famous city of Manchester - the industrial revolution birthplace turned 21st century metropolis - and its vibrant, contemporary and innovative architecture scene.

    Manchester is a showcase for recent regeneration and historic context, much of which has been designed with the involvement of our current students a

    Course information

    We combine traditional lecture-based teaching with workshop and design studio sessions.

    Project-based learning is the basis of architecture education, and the studio is where this learning takes place. From the very start you will be involved in a variety of projects.

    Skills in computing and visual studies will be developed through workshops related to studio projects.

    The course has strong links with architectural practices across the North West and involves architectural practitioners in teaching.
