About this course
BA (Hons) and MArch in Architecture, an architecture degree centred on spatial, structural and environmental principles. Core topics include Embedded Systems, Engineering Design, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The four-year integrated master's programme is structured to align with updated educational pathways defined by the Architects Registration Board, allowing students the choice to graduate with a BA (Hons) after three years or continue to complete the full master's qualification. The first year covers core subjects such as Professional Skills I, Form and Forces I, Environmental Design I, and Materials and Fabrication I. The second year builds upon this base through modules including Professional Skills II, Structural Design, Sustainable Cities, and Housing and Communities. The third year offers advanced study in topics such as Professional Skills III, Current Topics in Urbanism, Architectural Engineering, and Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence. The final fourth year consists of Professional Skills IV, concluding the integrated master's course.
