24 University of Bath Faculty of Engineering & Design Architecture Why Study Architecture at Bath?


The discipline of architecture operates at the intersection between human beings and their environments. The architect therefore plays a vital role in shaping and sustaining our everyday experiences, our comfort and wellbeing, our delight in the grand vision and our appreciation of simple pleasures. A deep understanding of the subtle forces that shape architectural design is therefore essential for any practising architect.


n Programmes are organised to regularly immerse students in both the practical as well as theoretical aspects of design. This is known as a thin sandwich programme.


n Our interdisciplinary team works on projects with students from Civil Engineering programmes.


n We maintain an excellent graduate employment record.


n Research strengths in the Department include architectural history and theory, lightweight structures, computer-aided design and the environmental design of buildings.


Placements


Many of the students who embark on the BSc programme go on to register as fully qualified architects. However the undergraduate programme provides excellent training in a range of transferable skills, which draw on the humanities and science based elements of the programme. After graduation, our students have gone on to successful careers in related design disciplines or other careers which require analytical and creative skills.
