UCAS code: K100
Here's what University of Dundee says about its Architecture course.
Dundee is an ideal location to study architecture due to its creative reputation and ambitious city regeneration.
You will gain essential knowledge and skills in design, communications, architectural history and theory, and sustainable technology.
As we are part of the University's art school, you will benefit from excellent facilities and workshops, a highly creative atmosphere, and our vibrant studio culture. Design tutorials and the majority of learning takes place in the architecture studio.
You’ll be encouraged to work in a ‘hands-on’ way developing and testing your ideas through manual and digital drawings, models and prototypes.
You’ll work in small studio groups and on a one-to-one basis with experienced tutors, who are usually registered architects, providing a supportive learning environment.
You will have the opportunity to join study visits and exchanges, experiencing world class architecture. Since 2018 our students have had opportunities to work, study or compete in Edinburgh, Hannover, London, Mainz, Paris, Shanghai, Sydney, Tongi, Venice, Vicenza, and Wuhan.
To qualify as an architect in the UK you will study for five years and then complete 24 months of practical training in an architectural practice.
Our students typically split this in to:
-
three years of academic study (ARB/RIBA Part 1)
-
a year in practice
-
two years of academic study (ARB/RIBA Part 2)
-
a further period in practice
If you need a Student visa to study with us, you would need to complete your 24 months in practice after your five years of academic study. You would need to apply for an additional visa at the end of the course.

Very exam heavy when you’d think the degree would be practical with lots of labs and projects not memorising content.

Budget cuts mean our student experience has gone downhill. In my first year we still had a reasonably busy union with lots on offer but now it’s always dead and most of it is closed. Lecturers who we all prefer due to their teaching style are being let go due to staff cuts. Nobody knows what the fut...

University of Dundee open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
