Architecture

The evolution of architectural forms is influenced by designing buildings in detail. For architectural technologists to be at the centre of the contemporary construction, they need to develop an expertise in construction technology, structural design, building science, refurbishment and building information modelling (BIM). Today, development in building fabric technology can enhance architectural expression and ensure modern buildings are energy efficient, long lasting and buildable.

This course equips you to become a Chartered Architectural Technologist, putting you in a strong position to secure work in the contemporary construction industry as you are able to integrate creative ideas with technical detail as well as being able to control the procurement process.

You will study a Foundation Year (Year Zero) and on successful completion you will begin Year One of the main degree. The recommended route of study for international students is through the UWE Bristol International College.

BSc(Hons) Architecture is taught by industry-experienced lecturers and visiting tutors, many of whom run their own architectural practices. Developing your design skills in areas such as computer-aided design, drawing, modelling and mapping, you’ll create an impressive portfolio of design projects, many with real clients and sites.

This is a unique, award-winning course that will give you a rare mix of knowledge and skills to prepare you for this expanding sector of design. You’ll explore everything from architecture and passive design, to environmental physics, environmental systems and the effective use of energy and materials.

BA(Hons) Architecture and Planning is unique because it’s accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI).

You’ll work on conceptual and practical projects, learn computer-assisted design, drawing, modelling and mapping, and explore both architecture and urban design on field trips. A five-week agency project and year-long architectural design project will further hone your planning and design skills. There’s also the opportunity to study abroad for a year.

Learning from industry-experienced tutors, you could work on live briefs for community charities and cultural institutions, property developers and management consultants, to build your professional portfolio.

Our students have completed work for and exhibited at the Royal West of England Academy (RWA) Gallery, work for global companies such as Ernst & Young, and made proposals for the redevelopment of a former television studio and theatre.

You’ll collaborate with students from other disciplines, explore Bristol's rich architectural history on day trips, and broaden your horizons with residential field trips, placements and study overseas.
