Foundation Degree - Architecture and Built Environment

The programme will focus on all the appropriate elements for the initial stages of developing you as a Northumbria Graduate and ultimately as an undergraduate degree student. The learning outcomes for the Built Environment programme and the modules have been mapped against the professional development requirements and the competencies required by this industry.

Northumbria foundation year students have a mature, intellectual curiosity through an examination and understanding of professional practice, current theories, policy and real-life practice. As a result, they will be able to develop and apply on academic knowledge and experience of research skills to chosen degree programme.

They will be taught by a diverse group of built environment related professionals. Their background, knowledge and experience in both practice and academia, and the emphasis and support of a research rich learning environment, will allow them to develop a research rich, practice based experience and encourage them to carry on their studies in an undergraduate programme.
