The architecture course at Cambridge is unashamedly academic in its approach.
Students are expected to master the technical subjects but they are also expected to acquire a much deeper understanding of the theoretical, historical and cultural context of architecture than is generally required at other schools.
This course aims to foster the skills that will enable an individual to continue to learn and develop throughout his or her future career.
It provides a unique range of skills which lead to a wide range of careers, not just architecture and the course is exceptionally demanding, and most successful students are driven to complete the course by their wish to become practitioners.
