We offer two professionally accredited architecture degrees:
- BA Architecture is a three-year, full-time undergraduate degree
- MA (Hons) Architecture is a four-year, full-time undergraduate degree.
The Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA) recognises architecture as a cultural, environmental, and societal practice. It is a civic endeavour concerned with people and how they live.
Our undergraduate programmes build knowledge and expertise across a range of disciplinary concerns:
- design
- technology
- the environment
- history
- theory
- the fine arts
We establish broad horizons in which the depth and intensity of work unfolds. We offer tools and techniques of inquiry, analysis, and projection for a rigorous engagement with contemporary and future challenges.
ESALA operates at the intersection of advanced creative practice and a world-leading research environment. We bring the two together to enable critical architectural responses to the social and environmental crisis facing the contemporary world.
Our ambition is to reimagine architectural education in the climate crisis context by celebrating diverse voices, practices, and forms of knowledge.
We strive to educate ethical practitioners, thinkers, and creators who will make a positive social impact.
Through design and critical reflection, ESALA is an exceptionally rich environment for the exploration of architecture’s capacity to improve the communities it serves.
Programme benefits
- A Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Part 1 Accredited programme situated in a city that has long been a centre of education and enlightenment.

- We foster a culture of investigation and critical thinking in making, supported by world-class workshops, technical facilities and staff and prime sites for understanding and investigating the ethical and moral challenges of building in our contemporary world.
- We enable you to gain a broad foundation which questions what architecture might be within a city, university and college, emphasising reason, responsibility and individualism of inquiry in action.
- You will work within an inclusive, fair, respectful and welcoming culture in which all staff and students can flourish. Edinburgh College of Art is proud to be Athena Silver Swan accredited.
