BA Hons in Architecture at Birmingham Southern College
This course is the first stage of education in the training of an architect. It aims to establish an informed understanding of architecture, its role in society, its cultural, artistic, technical and practical aspects, and their relationship to design and creativity.
Professional recognition : the course gives exemption from Part 1 of the Royal Institute of British Architects’ (RIBA) examinations.
This course has a natural progression on to the Postgraduate Diploma in Architecture and students are encouraged to apply to continue their studies. Graduates will gain the traditional skills in design creativity coupled with professional responsibility and have the knowledge and judgement to resolve complex problems. The course promotes architectural design through a continuous series of projects and contextual studies. Student choice and variety is offered through exploratory projects and studio teaching methods.
Design studies are a central feature of the course and act as the very hub of student development throughout the programme through set design projects and studio-based tutoring and seminars.
