Overview

This two-year, full-time, studio-based course, is the second part of the three-part qualification in becoming an architect.

This design-based professional qualification, accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB).

Key Features

This Architecture (PART 2 ARB-RIBA) course at Arts University Bournemouth takes its approach from the context of the ‘shared studio-based arts university’ where all courses are making.

This philosophy is applied throughout the taught units by emphasising the role of drawing, models and texts in the making of architecture; the things we make – to think about the things we make.

Programme Structure

The studio is both professional and exploratory. This educational experience is grounded in a strong studio culture of making and thinking, supported by regular lectures by practitioners, seminars and reviews.

The studio generates an atmosphere in which open, critical and reflective practice supports exploration and risk-taking where we test, discuss and present ideas. We’re particularly focused in delivering studio-based and student-centred learning environment.
