Architecture (with Foundation Year) - BSc (Hons)

University of Lancashire

Our cutting-edge Architecture Foundation Entry degree teaches you all the architectural theory you’ll need, paired with conservation, sustainability and environmental issues. Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s entirely unique, and a great stepping stone to degree study. You’ll learn a comprehensive grounding in design, theory, history and building technology. At the same time, we’ll embrace any environmental challenges such as low-carbon approaches, to meet the needs of society. You’ll get the opportunity to compare and contrast Lancastrian architecture and urban form with national and international examples on our overseas visits. Architecture Foundation Entry can lead to a career in an architectural practice with a professional accreditation, or into a related field. Successful completion of the foundation year leads to progression onto Year 1 of the BSc (Hons) Architecture. Following a year’s experience in architectural practice or related field of work, you are able to enter the MArch Architecture Part II at UCLan. The MArch Architecture Part II is prescribed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and Royal institute of Architects (RIBA) leading to Part 2 recognition, which allows you to proceed on a path to become a registered architect and ARB member. Postgraduate level programmes exist in architectural conservation, construction law, urban regeneration and construction management.
