Programme structure

Your course in brief

Year 1

Cover the foundations of Architecture, including Architecture Engineering and Construction, Architectural Technologies and complete a design project.

Year 2

You’ll go on a European field trip which will help you assess historical and contemporary influences on architectural design. You’ll complete design projects and look at technical applications.

Year 3

A major project makes up half of this year, allowing you to explore an area of personal interest in more depth. You’ll also learn about environment and systems integration, and constructional and structural design.

Career opportunities

The skills developed through the architecture degree not only reflect and support the attributes expected of a graduate of architecture, but are also transferrable into a wide selection of alternative professional and academic pathways. The context-focused approach of our teaching is reinforced by linking the use of regional sites with relevant international field study visits to the major architectural capitals of Europe. This validates the transferability of your knowledge and skills to the world arena.

Most graduates from Northumbria have secured key roles in architectural practices locally, nationally and internationally. Others have transferred their skills to a range of professions including construction, property development, visualisation, games design, urban design and manufacturing.
