Year 1

A person may be admitted as a student who:

has reached a standard in Architectural Design satisfactory to the Faculty;

and

has been exempted from the Part 1 Examination of the Royal Institute of British Architects, or a qualification recognised by the Board as equivalent.

The Faculty may, in addition, require a student to have had relevant practical experience, gained away from the University, before commencement of the programme of study. In this instance, a student will be initially registered on ARCU125, ‘Architecture –Year In Practice’, with the expectation of progression to ARCU126 upon completion of the practical experience. A person who has completed an equivalent course of practical experience at another institution may also be admitted.

The programme of study will be pursued for two sessions full-time.

In the first session of full-time study (Part I) a student will take:
