    Course Outline

    This is a 3 year program for most students, taken at full time.

    Year 1

    In year one, you’ll learn computer modelling, drawing and photographic design techniques. You’ll study the cultural and historical context of architecture, and how to consider the materials, environments and client demands you’ll be working with in your designs. You’ll also learn basic research techniques.

    Year 2

    In year two, you’ll begin working with more and more complex design briefs. You’ll learn to balance the technical necessitate, aesthetic considerations and actual user needs when you design a structure. You’ll also learn to incorporate criticism, conceptual work and architectural research in your project planning and development practice.

    Year 3  

    In year 3, you’ll develop a portfolio, including an extensive Architectural Proposal and Research Report which must be completed to a professional standard. To support this, you’ll practice formulating proposals for the development or regeneration of urban spaces.

    Learning & Teaching

    This program relies on group lectures and tutorials presented either to small groups or individually. However, you’ll also spend a great deal of time working in the university’s open plan studio environment. There you’ll explore scanning, laser cutting, large format and 3D printing, digital 3D drafting and the other tools of a modern architect. At the same time, you’ll study critical theory reflection and ways to experiment with new ideas and technologies.

    Career Possiblities

    You have many career options. Recent graduates of Norwich University of the Arts’ Architecture program have taken roles such as Town Planner, Surveyor, Site Manager, Project Manager, Model Maker, Landscape Designer, Environmental Consultant, Designer, Consultant, Construction Journalist, Conservationist, CAD Renderer, Product Designer, Architectural Technician, Architectural Historian, Architectural Curator, Architectural Assistant and of course, Registered Architect.
