Why study with us
What I love about the Welsh School of Architecture is how much it feels like a family. The most important lesson I've learnt was understanding how much our designs can have an impact on society. If I was to give any tips to new architecture students, it would be to enjoy your designs, don't be scared to try new things, be bold! After all, as a student you have the freedom to explore concepts and push your creativity. This is the time to experiment.

Vertical Studio
Vertical Studio is a collaborative project for students in BSc years one and two. Students choose from a variety of different units, many of which are run by architects, artists and other practitioners from outside of the university.
Vertical Studio gives our students the unique opportunity to explore, experiment and speculate on the nature and boundaries of the discipline of architecture and engage in activities that go beyond the core learning criteria of our BSc programme.
Vertical Studio was one of the reasons I chose Cardiff University. I was looking through the previous units offered and I felt like this was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I wouldn’t get if I wasn’t part of the university.
