Overview

The Architectural and Interdisciplinary Studies with Year Abroad, BSc course from UCL addresses architectural space from an interdisciplinary perspective and explores alternative approaches to design, research and creative practice. Unlike a conventional degree in architecture where students generally follow the same curriculum, this degree will allow students to customise their own course through a wide choice of optional modules taken in other disciplines at UCL.

In addition to modules at The Bartlett, you may select from topics in other departments including anthropology, archaeology, art history, economics, planning, education, geography, management, and politics.

Career opportunities:

Architectural and Interdisciplinary Studies students pursue careers in the construction, built environment, property, performance and creative arts industry sectors, as well as related fields, such as archivist, curatorship, planning and project management, at organisations that range from galleries and architecture firms to London Borough councils. Many also go on to pursue further studies.

You will develop the ability to think critically about the built environment and to argue speculatively. You will learn key tools and techniques of architectural research, design and fabrication. Our aim is to produce independent-minded and culturally sensitive graduates who are well equipped to problem-solve in complex environments of all kinds.
