A school of architecture has been here for over 60 years - but this incarnation is only 4 years old and we are still learning.

CSA is a modern, progressive educational environment. We have relationships with many disciplines across the University, although we collaborate closely with the Fine Art, with whom we share a campus as well as various lectures, projects, study trips, and exhibitions.

Our courses in Architecture, Interior Architecture and Design and MA Spatial Practices offer you the opportunity to explore the design of space though experimentation with various media, including contemporary electronic media, drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, and video. Using 'non-conventional' methods of making and representation in your work as creative spatial designers, you will produce projects that are challenging and which reflect individual theoretical positions.

We encourage investigations in creating and transforming complex spaces and programmes by sustaining a fundamental characteristic of spatial design: transdisciplinary practice. Our Architecture courses have full unconditional validation from the RIBA and the ARB, the professional validation bodies. The School is unconditionally authorised to award exemption for Parts 1 and 2 of the professional examinations of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
