The Best Architecture Schools in the U.K.

Some schools in the United Kingdom have a long, rich history, dating back almost a millennium, which can make studying at a British school very appealing, when one considers such things as their extensive library holdings. Architecture schools in the U.K. have well-constructed courses that allow students to graduate with a bachelor's degree in as short as three years, without compromising on content or degree of preparation.

    University of Bath

    • Bath, England

      The University of Bath traces its roots to the Bristol Trade School, founded in 1856. The existing university received its Royal Charter in 1966. The University of Bath's Department of Architecture and Engineering has, as of 2010, an average of 600 undergraduate students and about 100 masters students, with 35 permanent staff members and nearly 50 research staff and students.

      The department has a building that is separate from the rest of the university, designed by the architects Peter and Alison Smithson. The building features various spaces showing different approaches to design and construction that students can experience and learn from.

      One of the main premises of the department, stated on its website, is that if civil engineers and architects are to work together, they should study together. This approach brings a holistic sense to the education imparted by the University of Bath's Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering.
