Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part 1) BA (Hons)
From drawing and modelling to full-size project making and creating exhibitions in public spaces, the BA (Hons) Architecture course at UCA Canterbury is a lively, progressive and creative experience.
Ranked 11th out of all 52 architecture courses in The Guardian Good University Guide 2019, you’ll learn from a group of highly successful and dedicated architects, designers and engineers, and experiment with all elements of architecture.
Studying in large, light and airy dedicated architecture studios, you’ll have the freedom to embrace and debate the future and develop new ways of thinking, and through using high-calibre technology and software, you’ll gain advanced digital skills with tools such as our Tracklab – a dedicated virtual reality studio with spatial tracking. You’ll also have a thorough introduction to architectural management, practice and law.
An industry mentoring scheme is also available and our excellent student-to-staff ratio will help you to build your portfolio and CV, ready for the professional workplace.
Our course is prescribed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and validated by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). It also offers progression to a fully-validated UCA Master of Architecture (MArch) course as well as the Professional Practice in Architecture postgraduate certificate.
Our alumni have secured rewarding careers nationally and internationally for more than 60 years – many of our graduates typically progress to one-year paid placements at architects’ offices before continuing their studies at Masters level.
Recent employment opportunities have included work at the offices of Zaha Hadid, Norman Foster, Will Alsop, and Sauerbruch Hutton, as well as local architects’ practices such as Clague Architects and Lee Evans Partnership, both of which are located in Canterbury.
