This 5 year programme is professionally accredited by the ARB/RIBA for part 1 and part 2. The first three years (part 1) are designed to build basic knowledge and skills in Design, Communications, Architectural History/Theory and Sustainable Technology. Each year culminates in a major integrated design project which draws these parallel threads together. The final two years (part 2) offer more opportunities to choose a programme of study which suits your emerging interests as a maturing designer.  You are assessed through: Studio design projects; Drawings and models; Essays and project reports; and Short multiple choice tests. Graduates and students of Dundee have traditionally had an excellent reputation within the profession for being valuable and respected members of top practices in the UK and throughout the world.
