The Architecture (including foundation year) BA (Hons) at London Metropolitan University provides a comprehensive pathway for aspiring architects, preparing you for professional registration with bodies like the ARB and RIBA. This course is ideal if you are passionate about design, spatial thinking, and the built environment, offering a robust foundation in architectural principles and practice. You will develop critical creative practice skills, learn to engage with technology and materials, and gain confidence in presenting your work, setting you up for advanced study in architecture.
This full-time, on-campus undergraduate degree is studied over four years, including an intensive foundation year designed to equip you with essential studio and workshop skills. You will explore historical, contemporary, and cultural contexts through lectures and seminars, alongside practical engagement with design projects and technology. Following the foundation year, you will join the standard three-year Architecture BA (Hons) programme, culminating in a comprehensive design project and dissertation. You will graduate with the same award as students on the three-year course, ready for a career in architectural practice or further study.
