Architecture shapes our world. It reflects our societies and communities and has the power to influence the way we think and feel.

Architecture degrees at Cardiff Met will prepare you to build a better future, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and opportunities to connect with industry.

Take your first step towards becoming a registered architect with our BA (Hons) Architecture, an ARB prescribed Part 1 qualification, or develop a deep technical understanding of how buildings work with our dual-accredited BSc (Hons) Architectural Design & Technology degree.

Whichever route you chose, you will learn from highly experienced industry professionals within the context of a school of art and design, benefitting from an interdisciplinary curriculum that will broaden your horizons and enhance your critical thinking skills.

It not only has impressive rankings, but offers students many opportunities to explore diverse interests alongside their studies. The mix of creativity and technical know-how makes our learning more fulfilling and sets us up with a broad range of skills for our future careers as architects.”

“Even though I joined the course with very limited knowledge, the lecturers start from scratch - the vast majority of students join the course with very limited knowledge. The teaching staff's enthusiasm and passion to help us progress has made my learning experience easy and achievable – even when it’s really challenging. Whether it’s the lecturers or my classmates, there is always someone I can ask to help clear things up.”
