Architecture with a Foundation Year - BA (Hons)

How can we build spaces that meet the needs of diverse communities, and are sensitive to the global challenges we face today? Architects are visionary people, who use their creativity and entrepreneurial skills to design new environments that have social, cultural, environmental and financial value. At Kent, you will learn from practising architects in a creative studio environment. You will learn about sustainability in the built environment, and how to breathe life into old buildings that weren’t designed for the modern age. You will consider the needs of people and communities, creating spaces that are friendly and accessible to all people without compromising aesthetics. The technical skills, design work and professional experience you gain on this course will see you take your first steps to becoming an architect, or pursuing a career in areas such as urban planning, property development, construction or asset management. A foundation year is a great way to take your first step to becoming a qualified Architect, this programme will help you develop your design skills, technical capability and portfolio in order to enrol on our Architecture BA and realise your ambition.
