Overview

Key Facts Architecture or Architecture International (RIBA Part 1) (Hons) program offered by University of Huddersfield

The course prepares students to be able to work in a very wide range of architectural practices and in a professional environment in readiness for progression to the next stage of their architectural career. 

This is a real strength of the course, as you will study alongside others from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds. The social nature of the course means that you will experience ideas and influences that are as diverse as they are creative. There are two strands to the course, Architecture and Architecture (International). Both will give you an opportunity to explore the complex regional, cultural, ethical and environmental issues that will underpin your development as an architect.

If you intend to follow the route to become a qualified architect then, upon successful completion of the degree, through which you’ll attain the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Part 1 professional qualification, you’ll need to undertake a year working in professional practice before continuing to RIBA Part 2.

We have excellent links with architectural practices around the world and our students have found employment in a wide range of practices, from the smallest architectural firms to the largest, working on a huge variety of projects at home and overseas.
