How you’re taught

Based on 40-hour weeks during term time, you will spend approximately 12 hours per week in scheduled learning. Course content is delivered through lectures, studio projects, study trips and live briefs from both industry and competitions. You will also be involved in self-directed project work with the support of NOW, our virtual learning environment.
Outside of timetabled sessions you will need to undertake self-directed independent study. This will include preparing for lectures, researching, completing coursework, developing a portfolio, and directed reading to expand your knowledge.
The course is supported by external professional practitioners, ensuring that your learning is continuously enhanced through exposure to real-world perspective. This includes our Guest Lecture Series, where an industry expert is invited to give a guest lecture to expose our students to the work currently happening in architectural practices. You'll also have the opportunity to get involved with our RIBA student mentoring scheme in your final year.
