Architecture, building and planning courses are renowned for educating students to imagine, design and construct the streets and buildings of the future.

The term architecture is used to describe physical structures, such as buildings, however it also describes the technicalities of designing those buildings, as well as the method of construction.

Studying an architecture degree is challenging but rewarding and can take between three and seven years to complete. Students must be prepared to study for a relatively long period as, essentially, architects design structures for human use and, as a result, are largely responsible for the safety and reliability of those structures.
