Course Overview

Important aspects of this engagement are with the wider issues facing the profession and the provision of a creative context to investigate, challenge preconceptions, explore and fully engage the role of the architect in society.

In order to qualify and practice as an architect, it is necessary to acquire a core group of skills that are necessary for professional working life. In addition, it is necessary for you to demonstrate the intellectual skills and the knowledge, judgment and understanding expected at bachelor degree level.

The course is based on a Vertical Studio structure across two semesters also known as the SuperStudio. The Vertical Studio approach is one in which all students are taught together across all year groups, including Masters students, indistinctly themed Studios. The resulting cross-cohort model replicates the dynamics, opportunities, and challenges inherent in an architectural practice.

The course curriculum leads to professional recognition and is guided by the Criteria for Validation set down by the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Prescription of Qualifications established by the Architects Registration Board. These criteria set out the minimum levels of awareness, knowledge, understanding, and ability of architecture that you must acquire at key stages for RIBA/ARB Part 1 exemption in the process of qualifying as an architect.
