Course Summary
Why study Architecture in Oxford?
Oxford’s academic prestige and its historic architecture provide the perfect backdrop for exploring architectural design. Immerse Education’s Architecture programme is designed for students who want to deepen their understanding of architectural theory and practice. You’ll be challenged to think critically about the role of architecture in society while developing your own design projects under the guidance of experienced tutors.
Do I need any previous experience in architecture?
While prior experience in art, design, or mathematics can be helpful, it’s not required. The course is designed to challenge students at all levels, with tailored guidance to help you develop your skills, regardless of your starting point.
Yes, project-based learning is a key component. You’ll develop your own architectural designs and present them to your peers and tutors for feedback. This process mirrors the real-world work of architects, helping you build essential skills in design, presentation, and critical thinking.
How will this course prepare me for university applications in architecture?
By the end of the course, you’ll have developed a portfolio of design work and a deeper understanding of architectural principles, both of which are crucial for university applications. The experience you gain here will also give you valuable insights into whether architecture is the right path for your future studies.
