About this course
BSc in Architectural and Interdisciplinary Studies, an architecture degree centred on building design and urban scholarship. Core topics include Mathematical Modelling, Project Management, Ethics & Professional Practice, and Design & Creative Practice. Students construct a bespoke curriculum by selecting optional modules across various university departments throughout the three academic years. Across the three years, students navigate an entirely flexible curriculum comprised of optional modules spanning multiple disciplines. In the first year, students may select from foundational options such as Environmental Design, Building Physics and Energy, and Design and Creative Practice 1. The second year introduces choices including Urban Physics, Computing for Design and Creative Practice, and Advanced Mathematical Modelling and Analysis. The final year offers advanced study through modules such as Urban Project Management, Professional Practice and Management, and Design and Creative Practice 3.
