Overview

The Architecture (Hons) programme at University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) is designed to encourage creativity and innovation, while responding to the professional requirements of architectural education. 

The curriculum and the teaching environment allow students to develop independent and critical thinking.

Students are encouraged to experiment and explore various design processes and approaches, so as to develop creative solutions for challenging spatial problems via a variety of hands-on projects, exercises and workshops.
