At Lincoln, we aim to equip our students with the knowledge and skills needed to operate effectively within a globalised, innovation-driven economy. Course content is informed by current trends and developments in the built environment sector, and utilises industry-standard equipment and technologies. Taking an integrated approach that brings together architecture, technology, and design, we aim to address today’s growing need to design, build, and utilise spaces socially, economically, and sustainably.
Develop key industry skills in our excellent facilities
Subject ranked 2nd in the UK for graduate prospects in the Complete University Guide 2025 (out of 50 ranking institutions).
Learn from industry professionals and active researchers
BArch programme validated by the Royal Institute of British Architects
Our links with local design practices and key organisations in the construction industry provide opportunities for our undergraduate students to work on live briefs and benefit from work experience. We aim to develop the highest professional standards and to nurture confident graduates who will make a positive difference in the world. To help our graduates build these skills, architecture at Lincoln is part of the well-established RIBA student mentoring scheme. Third-year BArch Architecture students are paired with architects in the Midlands region and can gain experience over a series of days, with opportunities for site visits to observe how architects work.
This course is more than just seeing what exists already within the discipline and duplicating it - it's about taking that as inspiration and creating your own contribution to the world of interior architecture.
