**Course Overview**
- Our cutting-edge Architecture Foundation Entry degree teaches you all the architectural theory you’ll need, paired with conservation, sustainability and environmental issues.
- Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s entirely unique, and a great stepping stone to degree study.
- You’ll learn a comprehensive grounding in design, theory, history and building technology. At the same time, we’ll embrace any environmental challenges such as low-carbon approaches, to meet the needs of society.
- You’ll get the opportunity to compare and contrast Lancastrian architecture and urban form with national and international examples on our overseas visits.
Why study with us
- You’ll enjoy a ‘boutique’ educational experience – you will have your own desk, drawing board and storage within expansive studios.
- Our programme is validated by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB).
- Architecture is ranked 7th in the UK with 88% of students satisfied with the teaching quality (Times Good University Guide 2021)
