Description

    Bachelor's degree

  • Location

    London

  • Duration

    4 Years

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
This BSc will allow you to customise your own programme with a wide choice of optional modules taken in other disciplines at UCL. In addition to modules at The Bartlett, UCL's Faculty of the Built Environment, you may select from topics in disciplines including anthropology, archaeology, art history, cultural studies, economics, languages, and management.
This programme is unique in that it offers its own research, design and creative practice modules throughout. This will allow you to develop a wide range of practical and research skills. Other distinct features include its emphasis upon activity-based learning, supported by study visits and field trips.

There is an emphasis in this programme on the constant production of small assignments for seminars/tutorials, which will build up to a larger portfolio. There is also an emphasis on group critiques where you will learn to explain your work, listen to feedback and evaluate it as well.

About this course

Consistently at the forefront of architectural debate, The Bartlett at UCL is renowned for its innovative and experimental research in architecture, including design, history and theory, and innovative technology.
This programme offers an interdisciplinary education with a specialisation in architecture, an emphasis on design and creative practice, and operates without the constraints of the professional (RIBA) requirements.
You will develop the necessary intellectual and practical skills to engage with architecture and the city in an increasingly globalised age.
All students participate in The Bartlett's annual Summer Show, a major exhibition at the end of the academic year which attracts over 5,000 visitors.

You will develop the ability to think critically about the built environment and to argue speculatively. You will learn key tools and techniques of architectural research, design and fabrication. Our aim is to produce independent-minded and culturally sensitive graduates who are well equipped to problem-solve in complex environments of all kinds.
Students pursue careers in the fields of art, design, film, media, and curatorship or related fields such as planning or project management.

English Language and Mathematics at grade C or 5. For UK-based students, a grade C or 5 or equivalent in a foreign language (other than Ancient Greek, Biblical Hebrew or Latin) is required.
