Leeds School of Architecture (established in 1902) is part of Leeds School of Arts at Leeds Beckett University. Our dynamic studio-based courses address the critical and creative role of the contemporary designer in relation to physical and social contexts - from the revitalisation and the sustainability of the urban environment to live projects and community participation, to the application of forms of digital fabrication or new technologies, to the exploration of new media reinventing languages of multidisciplinary practice. Design practice, technology and history and theory modules are inextricably linked. Leeds School of Architecture questions what it means to practise architecture by testing and expanding architecture’s possibilities and responsibilities within society, across cultural systems, and in relation to shared environmental and ecological challenges.
Leeds School of Architecture’s pedagogical provision comprises the following programmes: BA (Hons) Architecture; BA(Hons) Interior Architecture; BA(Hons) Landscape Architecture and Design; Integrated Master of Architecture; Master of Architecture; Master of Architecture (Advanced); PG Dip Architectural Professional Practice; MA Expanded Spatial Practices; MA Interior Architecture: Practices of Reuse; MA Architecture, and MA/MALA Landscape Architecture There are dynamic engagements between staff and students through our interdisciplinary studio culture facilitated by the exceptional provision at Broadcasting Place and the wider resources across the Leeds School of Arts.
