The BA(Hons) Architecture and Planning at the University of the West of England Bristol is designed for aspiring designers who seek to shape more humane and sustainable urban environments. You will explore the critical intersection of architectural design and city planning, responding to the growing demand for creative professionals who can integrate people, context, and sustainability needs. This undergraduate degree provides you with the foundational knowledge and practical skills to design at scales ranging from individual buildings to entire urban areas, preparing you for a dynamic career in the built environment sector.
This full-time, on-campus programme is studied over four years and immerses you in both theoretical contexts and practical studio work, covering areas like sustainable architecture, urban design, and digital practice. You will develop your skills in computer-aided design (CAD), modelling, and mapping, and gain real-world experience through site visits, a six-week agency project with an architect or planning authority, and potentially a year abroad. You will graduate with a joint professional qualification, ready for diverse career paths as an architect, urban designer, or town planner.
