Architecture
The study of Architecture at the University of Brighton is an established contemporary program that is well positioned to address the challenges and opportunities that face the architect of the future, as the roles and positions that architects hold within the production of the built environment become increasingly varied.
Brighton is advancing collaborative ways of working and engaging with communities and other agencies outside of the academic sphere, including ‘live’ projects and the exploration of the contemporary and future roles of architects. Our aim is to foster and further develop the skills that will equip our students for the modern professional practice: creative and critical citizenship and professionalism; development of active participation regionally, nationally and internationally; intellectual agility and an openness to developing new kinds of collaborative practice in response to the needs of the changing landscape of clients, communities, developers and policy makers.
Staff and students are supported and encouraged to generate their own initiatives, exhibit and publish their work and ideas, participate in live local debates and in interdisciplinary design and building projects, all of which serve to further develop collaborative capabilities and the application of these in a wide range of both architectural and academic practices. The success of these activities is manifest in both a lively research community amongst staff and an actively engaged student body.
Both undergraduate and postgraduate architecture courses are located, together with Interior Architecture and Urban Studies, at Mithras House, Moulsecoomb Campus. The professional courses in Architecture, validated by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and prescribed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB), make up the complete academic framework (Parts 1, 2 and 3) leading to professional registration.
