Architecture and the Built Environment
Why Architecture and the Built Environment?
Architecture drives innovation and value for society, through creative design. Our courses focus on the skills needed to develop innovative solutions to global challenges, encouraging creativity and critical thinking throughout the design processes. We look at cutting-edge design practice and address some of the latest challenges and opportunities for our industries, including sustainability, user-centred design, and Building Information Modelling.
All our courses are professionally accredited, offer you the opportunity to undertake a placement year or professional practice opportunities, nationally and internationally* and are taught in our state-of-the-art Barbara Hepworth Building.
Preparing you for your future career
All our Architecture and the Built Environment courses offer you the opportunity to undertake a placement year or professional practice opportunities, nationally and internationally.* Hear from Tariq Nazir who studies Architectural Technology and has done a placement with Michael Dyson Associates Ltd.
Through my placement, I've gained real-world experience of the theories we are taught in the classroom. Technical aspects and strategies introduced in the classroom are made real, as I’m able to see how and when they are applied in reality.
