Having recently achieved recommended unconditional Part 1 validation from the Royal Institute of British Architects* (RIBA), this course is designed to satisfy the requirements of the Architects Registration Board and provides the crucial first stage in your seven-year education to become a chartered architect.

Working on live briefs across Greater Manchester and beyond, you will study the theories, techniques and technologies that influence and shape the built environment for its users. Studio work in our new facilities constitutes at least half of assessed work, in addition to contemporary academic modules  in  related areas. Our carefully designed open plan studio provides an inspiring environment for you to develop your ideas and allows architecture students from across all three years of the course to work collaboratively and share ideas and best practice. Additionally, field study visits form an important  part  of this course and may be both in the UK and abroad.

Ranked 5th in the UK and 36th in the world for Architecture and Built Environment teaching (QS world ranking 2017), the School of the Built Environment is committed to ensuring that the knowledge you develop and the skills you learn will prepare you for the next stage of your journey, whether that be  in  industry or further study.
