Bachelor of Architectural Science

University College Dublin (UCD)

UCD Architecture is at the forefront of architectural and urban design, both in Ireland and internationally. The Architecture course at UCD offers a means to engage creatively and constructively with society. The design process is central to Architecture, developing spatial, analytical, and creative skills to produce innovative solutions to everyday and future challenges.

Our degree attracts a diverse crosssection of talents and approaches – from the technically minded to the artistically gifted from the socially conscious to the natural communicators and leaders. All have the capacity to become successful and productive graduates in architecture. If you are excited by the idea of designing buildings, urban environments and landscapes, then this course is for you. A period of study at a university abroad on exchange is encouraged and UCD Architecture has a very extensive list of partners in Europe, Asia, Australia and the US for students to choose from. This period of study takes place in the Spring Trimester of 4th Year and is for one Trimester only.

There are also field trips, site visits and workshops organised as appropriate during the various stages of the programme including a class study trip to a European city of architectural interest.
