Architecture


Professional Placement: Two compulsory periods in Architectural practice during the 2nd semester of years 2 & 3


Architecture:


• BSc (Hons) Architecture - 4 years of academic study, including 2 semesters of professional placement (Part 1)


• Masters (M.Arch) - 2 years of academic study including 1 semester of professional placement (Part 2)


• Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Practice - 1 year part time study undertaken after completion of 12 months in practice after achieving the M.Arch degree (Part 3)


One of the special features of studying Architecture and Civil Engineering at Bath is the strong ties between study and practice.


Architecture students acquire workplace skills prior to graduation with Placements in Practice embedded within the four year programme. Therefore undergraduates can apply the knowledge acquired in architectural practice throughout their education. It also allows students to continue Placements over the summer in both second and third years, which fully exploits the calendar year in developing their architectural experience.


Architecture at Bath is taught within the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering and students benefit from the expertise of leading academics and practitioners in the field of structural and environmental engineering, as well as architecture.

Sarah Gerrard BSc (hons) Architecture Employed at Atkins Global in Property & Design at Bristol.


“I had a great time, working hard, making friends, and getting the jobs done.


My Placements showed me a small dose of real life, which has encouraged me, and excited me through my studies. Working in a professional environment, and realising the potential of the skills that I had gained at university, was very uplifting and exciting.


Taking skills from university into an office environment and back again into my academic studies was a great way to learn more of the realities of the architectural world. It’s an invaluable learning experience.”

The student contributed fully to our office, and carried out every task she was given diligently, responsibly, and to the best of her abilities. She was articulate, interested and behaved professionally at all times. She was a pleasure to have around, and a genuine help during her few months with us at IBLa. I look forward to welcoming her back at sometime in the future.
