The University of Reading’s School of Architecture opened to students in September 2016. As a brand new School, we have been able to work alongside industry to develop an Honours degree course which will prepare you for the architectural profession of tomorrow.

Our outstanding teaching and learning facilities, include a newly remodelled historic building with dedicated studio space available to use seven days a week. As well as valuing traditional drawing and visualisation, we place a strong emphasis on digital technologies, and you will have access to a purpose-built 3D immersive digital design environment.

Our team combines vast professional experience with cutting-edge academic research and excellence in teaching to give you the best of all worlds. Leading architectural practices and major construction companies are working with us to support their own workforce development – meaning that you will often be learning alongside and networking with potential employers and mentors.

As part of our third cohort joining the BSc Architecture course in 2018, you will have the opportunity of securing an annual £1,000 scholarship for each of the three years of the undergraduate degree.*

Your first degree is Part 1 of the three-stage journey to becoming an architect. From 2020, we will also offer a two-year Master's in Architecture (Part 2), enabling you to take the next step towards becoming a fully qualified architect and will also support students through the final part of their training in practice (Part 3).

The Architects Registration Board (ARB) has prescribed this course under the Architects Act 1997, and we are in the process of applying for RIBA validation.
