Architecture

Our Architecture programme offers a comprehensive education in architectural design, science and technology, art and architectural history and technical innovation.

Skills

Graduate with an advanced set of skills and professional expertise, ready for industry. 

Architects are responsible for designing buildings and structures that are functional, safe, aesthetically pleasing, and sustainable. Their duties include creating detailed architectural plans, and ensuring that designs comply with building codes and regulations. Architects collaborate with key design team stakeholders to oversee the construction process, addressing any design-related issues that arise. Ultimately, architects guide a project from concept through completion, balancing artistic vision with practical considerations.

Throughout your time at Roehampton, you will develop your technical expertise, problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills. You will graduate ready to excel in the dynamic field of Architecture. 

Learning

You will learn via a combination of lectures, design studio, workshops, group seminars, group tutorials, and practical experimentation.

As much as possible, students will be taught in interdisciplinary groups, in open studio spaces, on projects, however there will still be some formal lectures in order to deliver discipline relevant knowledge, skills and attributes.

Assessment

You’ll be set authentic assessments, meaning that your projects, tasks and exercises will replicate the working world of architecture.

You will be assessed on a variety of things which will include the submission of technical reports, lab reports, essays, in-class open and closed book tests, online assessments, and oral presentations. The programme includes both formative assessment, with respect to interim reviews and feedback / feedforward and summative assessment.
