Architecture BSc (Hons)
3 years, starting in September 2027
Develop and explore your architectural identity through studio-based learning. Start your journey to become an Architect in the UK.
This is a new Architecture course for 2027 entry and subject to final approval.
Our course teaches you the practical and creative skills needed to explore, analyse and communicate architectural proposals. You’ll combine project work in design studios with studies in history, theory and the science of architecture. Through integrating all aspects of architecture, you’ll learn how to successfully control, compose and construct internal spaces and external forms.
During your degree, you’ll have the opportunity to work with civil engineering students on some projects. You’ll work collaboratively, combining knowledge to produce integrated design solutions. This cross-discipline teamwork gives you an insight into the design problems and professional relationships you could experience in your career.
Learn from experts in the field
You’ll learn from academics with expertise in architecture and the built environment, including innovative materials and sustainable design. Their international collaborations and research activities feed into undergraduate teaching and contribute to your learning experience. In each design project, you'll learn from specialist tutors, many of whom are practising architects.
Use specialist facilities
Our 4 East South building houses purpose-built research and teaching space for our architecture students. You'll have access to design studios to support your architectural work in drawing and modelling. Our students have secure storage, access to printing, plotting, integrated review spaces with digital presentation facilities, and access to kitchens. You'll also have access to undergraduate workshops for model making through traditional means, as well as a wide range of CAD/CAM machines with staff available to help and advise on your projects.
Play a video of our design studios and facilities or explore them in our virtual reality model.
Start your future here
A degree at Bath can open many career opportunities to you. You’ll graduate able to evaluate materials, processes and techniques used in complex architectural designs and building construction. This along with your creative and analytical skills will prepare you to pursue a career as an Architect or other design-related roles.
2027/2028 Academic Year
Before you apply for a course, please check the website for the most recently published course detail.
We understand that you will want to know more about the shape of the academic year. We work hard and plan for different scenarios, to be able to welcome you to the University of Bath at the start of each semester.
Course structure
This course lasts 3 years. It starts in September 2027 and ends in 2030. Welcome week starts on 20 September 2027.
Occasionally we make changes to our programmes in response to, for example, feedback from students, developments in research and the field of studies, and the requirements of accrediting bodies. You will be advised of any significant changes to the advertised programme, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
Units
We are launching new Architecture courses for 2027 and are in the process of finalising the details of the structure and units you'll study. Here is an example of some of the areas and topics you may cover throughout your degree. These are subject to change and final approval.
- Design studio
- History, theory and practice
- Principles of structural and environmental engineering
- Digital representation
- Regenerative design
- Research paper
At Bath, our courses are made up of units of study. Compulsory units cover core concepts that you'll need to understand as part of your degree programme.
As an undergraduate, you'll be expected to take 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) in each academic year. Credits are usually split evenly across your two semesters of study. 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) are the equivalent of 1,200 notional hours of study; this includes contact time with staff and your own independent learning.
All credits displayed on this page are ECTS credits.
Learning and assessment
You’ll be taught and assessed by a variety of methods and it will vary between units. These methods are designed to promote in-depth learning and understanding of the subject.
Assessment
These lists are to give you an idea of some, but not all, of the learning and assessment methods used on this course. They are not exhaustive lists and methods are subject to change.
Assessment breakdown
As a guide, 90% of the course will be assessed by coursework and 10% by exam. In your first and third years, you’ll complete a group design project. You’ll be assessed individually but you may also be assessed as part of a group.
We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service for more information.
Contact hours and workload
Contact hours
In your first year, you'll typically have around 5 to 11 hours of timetabled sessions a week, made up of lectures, seminars, and laboratory classes. A small proportion of these contact hours may be delivered online, with the majority taught on campus. This may be supplemented by activities such as a few online learning sessions (not live), skills development sessions, studio sessions, and personal tutorials.
In later years, there is a greater emphasis on independent learning and the amount of timetabled hours will vary depending on the type of unit. Project and dissertation units will generally have fewer scheduled sessions to allow you time for your independent work. This may also mean the number of hours of timetabled sessions each week will vary within a year.
Overall workload and independent learning
Outside your timetabled contact hours, you're expected to carry out independent learning and assessment activities to support your studies. Typically, you should expect to spend a total of 35 to 40 hours on scheduled sessions and independent study each week. Examples of independent activities may include:
- individual research
- reading journal articles and books
- working on individual and group projects
- working through problem sheets
- preparing coursework assignments or presentations
- revising for exams
Professional accreditations
Our Architecture courses have been prescribed by ARB and fully validated by RIBA for many years. Due to national level changes, ARB prescription of Part 1 (BSc Architecture) will end 31 December 2027 and it will no longer be required for registration as an Architect in the UK. Validation by the RIBA will remain, so that the BSc Architecture will continue to provide access to qualification as a RIBA Chartered Architect.
We’re currently going through a review process with RIBA for validation of this new course. We will know the outcome of this decision by October 2026.
We’re currently going through a review process with RIBA for validation of this new course. We will know the outcome of this decision by October 2026.
Recognition of professional qualifications
As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).
The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.

BSc Architecture (Graduating year, 2025)
Entry requirements
Selection
Our Architecture courses are extremely popular and places are limited - admissions for this course is highly selective. We cannot guarantee you an offer of a place even if you meet or exceed our typical entry requirements.
We consider your whole application, rather than any one factor when making selection decisions, focusing on:
- Your previous academic achievements (such as GCSEs)
- Your predicted or achieved grades in most recent study
- Your subjects studied at A level (or equivalent)
- Your personal statement
All factors are important- having strong predicted grades alone will not necessarily secure you an offer.
Find out more about our selection process for A level students
If you study qualifications other than A levels the same principles will usually apply but we may consider them differently. For example, previous academic achievements may be less relevant if you are studying a broader baccalaureate- style qualification like the IB Diploma or French Baccalaureate.
A Level Mathematics or Physics is essential, and Art & Design or Design & Technology is strongly preferred.
The strongest applicants will study Maths, Physics and an Art or Design subject.
If you have not studied this combination of subjects, we prefer applicants to have studied a further science or humanities subject as their third A Level subject alongside Maths or Physics and Art or Design.
In exceptional circumstances we may consider applicants who have not studied an Art or Design subject. You will need to demonstrate substantial evidence of exposure to Art, Design or Architecture in your personal statement.
We will not usually consider alternative or supplementary personal statements for this course- your application will be assessed based on the personal statement you submit through UCAS only. If you are applying to multiple subject areas across your UCAS choices, your personal statement will need to be relevant for Architecture.
Support
Having a diverse student body is very important to us and we aim to admit students with the greatest potential to succeed, regardless of background or circumstances. We also know that the context in which you study can impact your ability to perform your best, or limit which subjects or qualifications you are able to study. We consider any application based on its merits, including your background and circumstances, including through:
When you may hear
We aim to make decisions for applicants as soon as possible.
We take our responsibility to be fair to all applicants seriously, and as a result many decisions need to wait until we have assessed all applications received by the UCAS equal consideration deadline in January.
While a small number of offers will be made between October and January, most offers will be made in February and March.
