Architecture

At Brighton our approach is design-led, hands-on, academically rigorous and collaborative, enabling you to develop your own creative voice.

Preparation for your career is built into your studies so you will graduate with the experience, technical skills and industry knowledge needed for professional practice.

Thematic, vertical studios where students from all years work together exploring ideas and sharing experiences, foster an environment of enquiry and collaboration, reflecting what happens in the work place. And our links with RIBA South East include opportunities for mentoring and mock interviews with practising architects.

On successful completion of your Architecture BA(Hons) studies you are awarded RIBA Part 1. This enables you to progress to the RIBA Part 2, our MArch course, at postgraduate level which you can also study with us at Brighton, continuing on your path to becoming a qualified architect.
