Biological Sciences

Learning takes place through a combination of lectures, design studios, workshops, group seminars and practical experimentation, allowing students to engage deeply with architectural theory, construction technology, environmental strategies and interdisciplinary project work; assessment is varied and authentic, encompassing technical reports, laboratory documentation, essays, closed and open book tests, online tasks, oral presentations and studio critiques, with both formative feedback and summative grading used to measure knowledge, skill development and professional readiness; projects are evaluated through detailed design portfolios, model making, computational simulations and written reflections, ensuring that graduates can demonstrate technical competence, critical analysis and the ability to communicate architectural solutions effectively; the curriculum aligns with RIBA and ARB professional criteria, integrates sustainability and digital design tools to reflect contemporary industry expectations and provides regular feedback from staff and peers to refine analytical and creative abilities throughout the programme.
