Course Overview

The architecture degree at Huddersfield has a highly distinctive approach to the subject, allowing you to explore different cultural regions and design your own innovative, beautiful, humane, and sustainable architecture in response. The social nature of the course means that youll experience ideas and influences that are as diverse as they are creative. The course has two strands, Architecture and Architecture (International). Both will allow you to explore the complex regional, cultural, ethical, and environmental issues that underpin your development as an architect. The International option provides an opportunity to travel to a non-European location to study architecture and culture first-hand before designing buildings that are truly responsive to people and places. Recent visits have included Vietnam, Malaysia, India, and China.* When you graduate from the course youll be able to work in a wide range of architectural practices and will be sought after for your practical ability and creative flair. Youll be well prepared to work in a professional environment and ready to progress to the next stage of your architectural career.
