**About this course**
On this course, you’ll develop skills and knowledge through tackling practical design projects. Projects are often set by external organisations, giving you real experience of working for a professional client. These projects take up at least 50 per cent of your time on the course.
You’ll work in our purpose-built architecture studios, learning skills such as casting, pencil and charcoal rendering, detailed large-scale model making, computer-based graphics and CAD drawing.
You’ll examine the cultural, historical, social, sustainable, material and technical issues that concern architecture. Through design work, a thesis and a dissertation, you’ll be able to pursue your individual interests.
