ARCHITECTURE AND PHYSICAL DESIGN

Help contribute to an extraordinary industry, where you can really make a difference using your creativity. Taking a postgraduate course in architecture, landscape architecture or interior design will expand your knowledge and ambition to create a sustainable future.

We offer a range of accredited design-based courses as well as policy making courses in the fields of architecture, urbanism, interior design and landscape architecture. Our career led courses focus on challenging assumptions and setting up new agendas for design in the 21st century. Architecture and design is innovation, experimentation, contextualisation, social construction and empowerment. The University of East London offers many courses to help you grow and thrive in this exciting industry.

Industry Collaboration

We maintain close ties with the Royal Institute of British Architecture (RIBA), Landscape Institute (LI), Architect Registration Board (ARB) and local and international organisations such as British Land, Rogers Stirk Harbour, the Museum of London and Sir Robert McAlpine.
