The Architecture BA Honours at the University of Westminster is designed for aspiring designers who are passionate about shaping the built environment and addressing contemporary urban challenges. You will explore the intricate relationship between architectural design, technical studies, and the historical and theoretical contexts that inform our cities and buildings. This programme is ideal for students with a creative flair, an analytical mind, and a desire to understand the complex social, environmental, and cultural factors influencing architectural practice. You will develop a critical perspective on architecture's role in society.
This full-time, on-campus undergraduate degree is studied over four years, with a unique opportunity for a year in industry between your second and third years, allowing you to gain valuable professional experience. Your learning will be studio-centric, involving iterative design projects, workshops, site visits, and critiques, supported by technical studies focusing on fabrication and environmental principles, and historical and theoretical research. You will graduate with a strong portfolio, prepared for professional practice as a Part 1 assistant architect or further academic study.
