About the Institution
The AA School has grown up alongside, and to a very great degree helped shape, modern architectural education and the profession.
The AA offer a one-year Foundation Course, a five-year ARB/RIBA recognised course in Architecture, and 11 postgraduate research programmes covering a range of design agendas. The Visiting School offers 100+ short courses across five continents.
Nearly 85% of the AA School's 750 full-time students, and a similar percentage of tutors, come to the AA from abroad. Located in the heart of London, the schools facilities include studio spaces, workshops, digital prototyping labs, library, archives, access to our famous Public Programme, plus much more.
Students are eligible to apply for scholarships and bursaries regardless of age, nationality or background. Funding is awarded to students who demonstrate exceptional promise and financial need.
Location
The AA’s premises are in Bedford Square, a very smart area of central London famous for its barristers’ chambers. It has since acquired additional London premises in nearby John Street and a 350-acre site at Hooke Park in Dorset in south west England. The school has also studio place close by to the main campus on Bedford Square.
