Overview

The Architecture (Hons) programme offered at Ulster University is based on a Vertical Studio structure across two semesters also known as the SuperStudio. The Vertical Studio approach is one in which all students are taught together across all year groups, including Masters students, in distinctly themed Studios. The resulting cross-cohort model replicates the dynamics, opportunities and challenges inherent in an architectural practice.

In order to qualify and practice as an architect it is necessary to acquire a core group of skills that are necessary for a professional working life. In addition, it is necessary for you to demonstrate the intellectual skills and the knowledge, judgement and understanding expected at bachelor degree level.

Career and Opportunities

At Ulster University students are taught to understand architecture as a response to complex social, cultural and environmental contexts and develop the design skills to improve those situations. Therefore, architecture crosses the traditional boundaries between art and science, which means that you are equipped to enter a wide range of careers.
