Welcome to the Department of Architecture. There are no special requirements, nor any need to prepare anything in advance. Just bring yourself and be ready to find out more about your journey here with us.
Please try not to miss our Welcome Week as it will be full of activities designed to help you settle, become familiar with our environment, processes and systems, and cover any queries you may have. You will also meet your programme director and teaching teams.
