The BA Architecture programme at London South Bank University supports students as they develop and refine an architecture practice, with access to specialist facilities.

Our highly creative degree programme, accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and Architects Registration Board (ARB), offers students a wide foundation of architectural knowledge. You will learn to draw, model, write and above all, define and solve problems that have a genuine social purpose.

You will study the exploration of design; review the histories and theories of architecture; and investigate structures, construction and design for sustainability.

Studying with us will help you determine your own interests and find your individual voice. We will also introduce you to the necessary skills for professional practice. When you successfully graduate, you will have completed the first step towards becoming a qualified architect.
