BSc Architecture with International Foundation Year for international students

If you want to study architecture at a British university but don’t have the correct qualifications, our four-year BSc Architecture with International Foundation Year programme enables you to undertake an undergraduate architecture degree.

You will complete a foundation year (called Year 0) and will meet accreditation requirements before progressing onto our three-year BSc Architecture degree. This normally means you can apply for a single four-year visa that covers the whole duration of your studies.

The foundation year is designed to equip you with the subject-specific and general study skills needed to cope with the demands of undergraduate study. Our high-quality teaching is geared towards the needs of students from a wide range of educational backgrounds.

For more information, visit the International Foundation Programme website.

New UK/Republic of Ireland students: £9,250 per year

New international students: £23,700 per year

*UK/Republic of Ireland fee changes

UK/Republic of Ireland undergraduate tuition fees are regulated by the UK government. These fees are subject to parliamentary approval and any decision on raising the tuition fees cap for new UK students would require the formal approval of both Houses of Parliament before it becomes law.

EU student fees

With effect from 1 August 2021, new EU students will pay international tuition fees. For exceptions, please read the UK government’s guidance for EU students.

Additional Costs

Some courses will require additional payments for field trips and extra resources. You will also need to budget for your accommodation and living costs. See our information on living costs for more details.

Financial support for your studies

You may be eligible for a scholarship or bursary to help pay for your study. Students from the UK may also be eligible for a student loan to help cover these costs. See our fees and funding information for more information on what's available.

The School of Architecture sits within the renowned School of the Built Environment, which has strong industry links and an outstanding employability record with 96% of graduates in work or further study 15 months after finishing their course [1]. 

Gaining a degree in architecture will open up a wide range of global career opportunities. As a BSc (Hons) Architecture graduate you could work as an architectural assistant and, after further training, an architect. You will also be well-placed to move into other careers within the sector, such as project management, planning, estate management, surveying, and urban design. Other opportunities include careers in the gaming industry, graphic design, and interior design.
