K100 C BA/Arch

BA (Hons) Architecture is an ARB and RIBA validated course. The course operates as a design laboratory in which you seek radical conceptual approaches to architecture and test them through debate and through application in public space. You consider spatial practice in relation to the human conditions experienced in everyday life as well as in relation to social, political, landform, urban and virtual environments.

The course is taught through the Canterbury School of Architecture. A modern, progressive design environment established more than fifty years ago.

Key study topics include:

  • Create designs that address the inhabitation of natural and urban environments.
  • Research architecture, design theory, technology and communication.
  • Develop approaches and contribute to all areas of architectural debate.
  • Experience architecture across the UK and Europe through field trips and visits.
  • Make choices in the research you undertake to direct your career beyond the course.
