Architecture (including foundation year) London Metropolitan University

Overview

The foundation year develops your creative, academic and technical skills, providing a supportive route into undergraduate and postgraduate architecture study and a clear pathway towards becoming a registered architect in the UK.

Architecture (including foundation year) from London Metropolitan University begins with a year that prepares you for degree-level study before you progress on to the five-year integrated master's course.

The foundation year is designed for students who do not yet meet the entry requirements for the five-year degree or who would benefit from additional preparation before studying architecture at university. You'll develop core creative, design, digital, and academic skills while building the confidence needed for undergraduate study.

After successfully completing the foundation year, you'll progress onto the five-year Integrated Master of Architecture, where you'll complete both undergraduate and postgraduate study within a single degree.
