This course is currently prescribed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB). However, from 31 December 2027, the ARB will no longer prescribe Part 1 qualifications for any UK undergraduate Architecture degree. This is a national change affecting all institutions. If you complete your course after this date, you will still graduate with a BA(Hons) Architecture degree and your pathway to becoming a UK-registered architect will not be affected, as the ARB will continue to accredit qualifications at master’s level only.
