Programme Overview
Programme Introduction
Combining art, science, and technology, a career in architecture requires an interdisciplinary skill set that draws on elements of mathematics, engineering, and creativity to tackle the challenges of tomorrow’s built environment.
The BA (Hons) Architecture programme at the University of Lincoln explores multiple approaches and design practices, and provides a co-operative and productive environment for sharing ideas, techniques, and experiences to help students find their own voice as designers.
The University’s diverse teaching staff includes individuals with a range of international qualifications and experience devoted to research-engaged teaching. The School, led by Professor Stephen Pretlove, is committed to socially and environmentally sustainable development, both locally and globally.
Programme Aims
This programme aims to:
-

-
support students in developing their writing, technical, and design skills in a studio environment;
-
provide the opportunity to explore and communicate design using the University’s computer-aided design (CAD) and workshop facilities;
-
integrate theoretical, technical, and design work in project-based assignments which make up a large proportion of the assessment for the programme; and
-
encourage students to develop a sketchbook and portfolio, enabling them to reflect upon their personal and professional development.
