Architecture at LSBU is a 3 year full time degree, with options for part time study and an undergraduate apprenticeship. Our course offers you a wonderful first degree, with a detailed exploration of design; review of the histories and theories of architecture; investigation into structures, construction and design for sustainability; and an introduction to the professional skills necessary for professional practice.
On this highly creative course, you'll learn to draw, model, write, and, above all, define and solve problems that have genuine social purpose, and directly improve lives. Once you’ve completed your first year of study, you’ll have a wide choice of studios to choose from where you learn about the many different approaches to architecture and design. LSBU architecture is about allowing you as a student to determine your own interests, and find your individual voice.
When you graduate you’ll be ready to start the first stage of professional practical experience in an office before progressing to RIBA part 2 postgraduate study.
