What happens on the course?

Wolverhampton’s BSc in Architecture offers a unique educational experience grounded in design, technology and science. 

The mission is to inform good design which will improve people’s lives whilst minimising the detriment to our earth’s ecosystems. Design is at the heart of the curriculum which then underpins modules including design studio, history and theory of architecture, urbanism, building science, sustainability, structures, construction and professional practice. There is a strong emphasis on understanding the context, materiality and function of design. Projects progress in scale and complexity; beginning with the human scale in the first year, urban scale in the second year and holistic in the third year.

This approach provides a broad education in architecture; with a clear pathway to guide those transitioning from school and college to become self-motivated, fully autonomous learners within higher education. Our philosophy is focused on welcoming and valuing distinct views that broaden each of our own perspectives through critical thinking and respectful debate; there is no one singular style of architecture attached to the school.
