Architecture BSc (Hons) – 4 years including placements

The professional training you need to practise as an architect, combining studio-based design with technical knowledge of materials and construction techniques.
Teaching
You’ll learn from academics with expertise in architecture and the built environment, including innovative materials and sustainable design. Their international collaborations and research activities feed into undergraduate teaching and contribute to your learning experience.

Facilities
Our facilities are central to your study experience. Our 4 East South building houses purpose-built research and teaching space for our architecture students. You'll have 24/7 access to design studios that support your architectural work in drawing and modelling. Watch our video of the design studios and facilities that you could use during your degree.

Our course is fully prescribed and validated by the ARB and RIBA, giving you the educational basis and professional experience you need to complete the first step toward becoming a qualified Architect. Like many of our students, you can continue this journey with us on our Master of Architecture and RIBA part 3 courses.

A degree at Bath can open up a variety of career opportunities to you. The high standard of creative and analytical skills, and training you graduate with will equip you to work in a range of industries. You could also choose to pursue a career in other design-related roles such as film-making or museum curation.

Your personal statement should describe your motivation for choosing architecture and information about your relevant non-academic interests and achievements. Your application is more likely to be successful if you demonstrate a strong interest in architecture through relevant reading, extracurricular or co-curricular activities, work experience, additional study (such as a relevant EPQ) and art or design qualifications.
