We offer RIBA-exempt courses in all three parts, namely, BA (Hons) (Part 1), MArch (Part 2) and PgDip level (Part 3). The final examination with the award of postgraduate diploma in Architecture enables you to become a registered architect
Our Interior Design course is taught by experts who specialise in design communication, creative processes, sustainability, brand development, hospitality and strategic design management. Our MA Design and Visualisation staff have experience in working with brand names such as AGA, Cadbury’s and JCB.
Our Landscape Architecture courses are also fully recognised and accredited by the Landscape Institute (LI).
Our Product and Furniture Design course is delivered by experts with significant experience in design for the mass market, design for commission and low volume production. This subject is delivered at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
You will be based in our £62 million Parkside Building, part of the City Centre Campus - a creative learning environment to rival any studio in the country. We are located in the new Eastside district, an evolving and exciting hub for creative and digital industries.
Around 80 per cent of our RIBA Part 2 students have also studied their Part 1 with us. We also provide students already employed in practice with the opportunity to study part-time.
