    Course Summary

    Brighton University’s BA in Architecture seeks to establish Architecture as an inherently social discipline, not just a technical profession. In addition to the skills you’ll need to practice technically as an architect, this degree program will give you a deep and nuanced understanding of the entire field. You’ll develop a unique ‘voice’ for yourself and your designs, and understand how to interpret your work from an artistic, scientific and humanistic perspective. This will be challenging, but also very rewarding.

    You will learn real world skills as well, of course. The university maintains close links with organisations like RIB South East, who help to include professional skills training and expert mentoring to all of Brighton’s Architecture students. You’ll learn in the field, visiting architectural projects in the local community. On graduation, you’ll receive a RIBA Part 1 certification in addition to your BA degree. This will be only the first of your many professional qualifications as your career progresses.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
