Therefore, architecture crosses the traditional boundaries between art and science, which means that you are equipped to enter a wide range of careers.
After achieving the award of BA (Hons) Architecture, graduates can:
-
continue on to complete a further period in professional practice and a further period of full-time study at Ulster University to become fully qualified architects recognised and licensed by UK professional bodies.
-
be involved in constructing new buildings and renovating existing ones as well as collaborate on the design and planning of public spaces, rural developments and new cities.
-
work with clients, members of the broader public, local government and statutory agencies as well as many parallel disciplines engaged in the built environment; including surveyors, project managers, construction and civil engineers and building services engineers as well as landscape architects and artists.
