Program Description This 4-term programme offers successful students guaranteed progression to London South Bank University. You will study your Foundation programme at the ONCampus LSBU Centre located at the heart of the London South Bank University campus. This is an extended programme that is available if you do not have the required English language level for the 3-term pathway. This programme lasts 4 terms and includes an English language module (ELPP) followed by 3 terms of Undergraduate Foundation Programme (UFP). This programme is designed to prepare international students, who have completed senior secondary education, for entry to undergraduate studies at London South Bank University. All students who successfully complete the UFP are guaranteed placement on a suitable programme of undergraduate study at London South Bank University. The UFP is set at level 3, which is equivalent to A-level standard in the UK. The year begins with an English language module and then the next three terms are divided into seven to eight teaching weeks and one examination week, and half a term of English language. On average, you will undertake 21 (and up to 25) hours of classroom-based study per week. English Language forms up to six hours of your timetable, is compulsory for students who are below the required level for progression, and will be integrated into the teaching of academic subjects as well as being taught separately if you need additional support. Students who are at or above the required English level for progression are likely to follow a reduced timetable. Progress to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Architecture This course offers you a wonderful first degree, with a detailed exploration of design; review of the histories and theories of architecture; investigation into structures, construction and design for sustainability; and an introduction to the professional skills necessary for professional practice. On this highly creative course, you'll learn to draw, model, write, and, above all, define and solve problems that have genuine social purpose, and directly improve lives. Once you’ve completed your first year of study, you’ll have a wide choice of studios to choose from where you learn about the many different approaches to architecture and design. LSBU architecture is about allowing you as a student to determine your own interests, and find your individual voice. This course is fully validated by the Royal Institute of British Architects and prescribed by the Architects Registration Board.
