Bachelor [Architecture] From Glasgow School of Art

The aim of the Programme is to produce confident and independent designers, with a grasp of intellectual and aesthetic rigor demanded by the discipline of architecture, an appreciation of a creative, scholarly activity and with a growing maturity in making judgments.Ê

The specific aims of the Programme are for students to:Ê

a. Approach learning as a creative activity that becomes progressively more self-motivated and self-directed, leading to an ability to sustain enquiry, while developing an ability to share knowledge with peers.Ê

b. Achieve fluency and confidence in expressing architectural ideas through a wide range of media and to utilise the appropriate means for testing them.Ê

c. Discover and develop a sensibility towards architecture that can be expressed through texts, drawing, models and other appropriate media.Ê

d. Nurture a thirst for intellectual and aesthetic exploration, an ability to enhance knowledge through research and reflection, and gain a respect for scholarship.Ê

e. Connect to the culture of architecture, relating this new world to their own experience of buildings and places, how they are used, made and interpreted.Ê

f. Develop a critical understanding of architecture and design within a wide historical, social, cultural, political and environmental context.Ê

g. A pass at the end of Stage 3 leads to exemption from the ARB and RIBA Part 1 examinations.Ê
