The programme is rated Excellent for Teaching Quality. This award is designed for students who have an equivalent first degree to BA/BSc Hons, but do not have RIBA Part 1 Exemption. The programme content is identical to the Professional Diploma in Architecture which has the unconditional recognition of the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Architects Registration Board and gives exemption from RIBA part 2.
Graduate Diploma in Architectural Design at UEL
The Architecture programme at UEL educates students to become practising architects. Students are taught on the atelier or Module system in small groups under the direction of tutors who have freedom to devise their own projects. The School emphasises learning through making and on reflecting what one has made, in this way developing creativity and critical judgement of each student.
The programme is exemplary in the amount of personal tuition each student receives each week, from teachers who are usually also active as practising architects. Most of the learning is done thorough project work in the School’s excellent studios, computer suites and workshops.
Your future career
The programme is the second stage of architectural education. It is also good preparation for any work in which you need to be able to analyse problems and make creative proposals for their solution.
