Overview

The BArch Architecture (Hons) course offered by University of Nottingham focuses on sustainability and equips you with the skills and knowledge to design spaces that improve lives and positively contribute to the environment. They take an integrated learning approach, combining technical, environmental sciences and humanities based subject work with design studio modules.

Year one studio modules provide a strong foundation with a focus on the fundamental core skills of design and presentation. 

In years two and three, you’ll have the freedom to choose from up to 12 design studio units, allowing you to explore areas that interest you the most. 

You’ll also join the vertical studios, working alongside students from different years in a collaborative environment that encourages peer mentoring and creative exchange.

Career opportunities:

An architecture degree is the first stage needed to become a registered architect but it's also a degree that employers look for in construction, property, design and creative roles.

You can continue with architecture, with the opportunity to undertake a year's supervised professional experience, the two year MArch Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part II), and a further year in industry to achieve professional architect status in the UK. 

The graduates have gone on to work for a range of top UK and international companies including Alford Hall Monaghan Morris, Cullinan Studio, Foster + Partners, Grimshaw, Hopkins Architects, Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners, Walters & Cohen Architects, Wilkinson Eyre Architects, and Wright & Wright Architects.
