Description:

Architects have the potential to change people’s lives. They provide the vision to imagine new environments and breathe life into existing buildings. They are part of the creative profession that helps to build our communities.

It’s not just about creating beautiful buildings. At Kent, our design approach takes into account how people want to live and work in the 21st century, as well as environmental concerns.

Kent School of Architecture and Planning has a forward-thinking philosophy and that means you have stimulating debates as well as developing your own creative ideas and practical skills.

Our degree programme

Our BA (Hons) degree is the first step towards qualifying as an architect. You study areas such as regeneration, sustainability, landscape, community, and urban life. You also develop the practical design skills needed within the profession.

You are encouraged to be creative and experiment through models, drawings and digital representation – gaining confidence through your project work.

We also arrange optional field study tours to complement your studies. In recent years, students have been to:

  • France – Lille and Paris
  • Spain – Barcelona
  • Germany – Berlin
  • Italy – Rome
  • Austria – Vienna
  • the USA – San Francisco and Washington DC.

 (Please note that our field trips can involve extra costs that are not covered by your tuition fees.)
