Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Marketing] From University of Strathclyde

The course runs parallel to the MArch/Pg Diploma in Advanced Architectural Design. It shares the same curriculum so youÕll join students on this course in an exciting and challenging environment.

YouÕll develop skills in advanced design, analysis and architectural critique designing complex buildings in a variety of contexts and addressing social, cultural and environmental issues.

This course demands a high level of design ability and self-motivation.

YouÕll study

Year 1

The first year of study is centred on consolidating your architectural design skills.

YouÕll be introduced to the idea of architecture as a responsive solution to fundamental social issues.

You'll take a subject class in an area of expertise aligned to the research in the department and research and produce a dissertation on a topic of personal interest related to design.

Year 2

YouÕll undertake a significant architectural project on which you're required to take a standpoint on contemporary architectural issues. This is developed through a theme that reflects your own interests and creative ambitions and is supported by subject classes.

YouÕll also attend a taught course in professional studies and a series of guest lectures.

Students progressing from the Diploma to Masters undertake an additional semester of study to pursue an aspect of the thesis project to a greater level of detail.
