This programme is for students who have a first degree, but do not have RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Part 1 exemption. Most learning is achieved through project work in our studios, computer suites and workshops, complemented by lectures and seminars. However, the heart of the programme is in the design studio, where you learn to become an architect through project work. We also emphasise learning through making and reflecting, enabling you to develop your creativity and critical judgement
The diploma comprises two modules:
Components of these modules include History and Theory, Computing and Design, Sustainability, Material Matters and Alternative Urbanisms.
This 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.
Diploma students come to the School from all over the world, from many different educational backgrounds so the first year of the programme is partly diagnostic. It is organised to develop all the practical and conceptual skills which an architect needs. Each student has a personal tutor whom they meet at least once a week. The tutor is responsible for guiding your academic development and will give personal support. You also get a lot of support from fellow students because most of the teaching and learning is in small groups working on common themes in the project work.
