Study Architecture and Built Environment
Architecture and Built Environment enjoys a number of successful partnerships, bringing our courses to an international audience and enabling our students to experience different cultures with our study abroad programme.
Collaborative Partnerships
We are an international university and we have a number of partnerships with universities and other educational establishments around the world.
The department currently delivers its Surveying (Real Estate), Surveying (Building Surveying), Surveying (Construction) and Surveying (Quantity Surveying) programmes through RECA in Singapore.
Many students are keen to take advantage of the option of studying abroad for a year, while reading for their undergraduate degree. This is a fantastic opportunity to enable students to experience living in a different country, improve communication skills, and make new contacts. The workplace is invariably a global market now; so to have the experience of studying in a different country is an excellent way of demonstrating working internationally on your CV.
The department has partnerships with the following universities to enable students to study abroad for a year:
VIA University College, Horsens, Denmark
ICAI School of Engineering, Madrid, Spain
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, Switzerland
