Architecture, Prof. Dip.

Course Description

The aim of this programme is to extend the education of students who wish to enter architectural practice. The programme develops conceptual and practical skills, and both intuitive and analytical powers. We operate a vertical design studio system, in which individual staff offer particular architectural programmes and you choose with whom you want to work. We offer five special routes through the Diploma, which give advanced standing on our Master’s degrees. These routes involve more advanced study of computing and design, interpretation and theory, sustainability and design, alternative urbanisms and material matters. The Prof Dip Architecture programme at UEL educates you to become a practising architect. You are taught on the atelier, or unit, system in small groups under the direction of tutors who have freedom to devise their own projects. The School emphasises learning through making and on reflecting on what one has made. In this way each student develops creativity and critical judgement.
