Overview

Throughout this Architecture (Hons) (ARB-RIBA Part 1) degree course at The University for the Creative Arts you’ll focus on learning about space, regulation, and society, and how design decisions can impact on the individual, on sustainability, and on climate.

Key Facts

We don’t expect you to have all the answers to these big questions – just an open mind. You’ll need to be ready to experiment, rethink processes and narratives, and learn as you go.

With dedicated studios, an enviable position in the cathedral city of Canterbury, and a team of staff who are mainly practice-based and industry-driven, you’ll have the space and the support you need to learn and to create.
