Architecture is the art of making the world habitable, and its study attracts students from a wide range of backgrounds who share a commitment to understanding and improving the human environment.

The practice of architecture requires a combination of creativity, personal enthusiasm and technical ability. Architecture courses are demanding, both in the range of subjects they embrace and the time and effort which learning to design well requires.

Course usually provide a broadly based introduction to the cultural and environmental context of architecture, and a thorough grounding in the techniques of architectural design and technology. Studio-based projects form the core of the work required.
