Educational Aims of the Course

To produce architecture graduates equipped to participate successfully in professional architectural practice and as members of teams whose aims are to design and realise architectural structures and urban plans within the context of global environmental and sustainable concerns.

To provide a cohesive and focussed educational experience that integrates theoretical and practical aspects of architecture in parallel with skills in personal, intellectual and ethical conduct.

To introduce students to progressively challenging and complex problems, in a learning environment that cares for the individual student's progress, irrespective of race, background, gender or physical disability, and allows for increasing personal responsibility and professional maturity.

To deliver a course of study that covers the ARB / RIBA General Criteria at Part 1.

To produce architectural graduates that have attained the ARB / RIBA Graduate Attributes for Part 1.

To encourage students to fully engage with the development of employability skills by completing a self-awareness statement.

Opportunities for work related learning

The BA (Hons) Architecture (SLIIT) programme will ultimately seek professional validation from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) which would award exemption from the RIBA Part 1 examination. Most students of architecture enrol with the ultimate goal of becoming a registered architect. To qualify as a chartered architect in the UK a candidate must complete Parts 1, 2 & 3 of the RIBA examination. Before sitting the Part 3 examination candidates must have completed 24 months of mentored and logged practical experience. This can be initiated at any time after enrolling onto a recognised Part 1. Most candidates follow the pattern of completing their first degree BA Hons (Part 1) then taking a fully logged `year out' in practice before returning to complete their second degree MArch (Part 2) and then logging another 12 months of practice experience before sitting their Part 3 examination. The department has an RIBA registered Professional Studies Advisor (PSA) who advises students and signs off their log sheets should they choose to register with us during their `year out'. The programme incorporates a full course of Professional Practice lectures with related coursework in years two and three.
