The AA Diploma School includes students in their fourth and fifth year of studies in the AA’s ARB/RIBA-recognised five-year course in architecture. Long acknowledged as a worldwide leader in architectural education, the Diploma School has been home to some of the most innovative, challenging and experimental thinking in architecture. The Diploma School offers opportunities for architectural experimentation and consolidation across a broad range of interests and teaching methods. Students work in an environment that fosters the development of creative independence and intelligence, where the aim is to marry drawing and technical proficiency to complex intellectual agendas in an atmosphere of lively and informed debate. As they refine research skills and develop proposals into high-level design portfolios, students begin to find both their voices as designers and ways of articulating their own academic agendas to carry with them into their future professional careers.
