The Canterbury School of Architecture (CSA) which was founded in 1952 is a leading architecture school in the United Kingdom and is a department of the University for the Creative Arts in England. It has been listed within the top five architecture schools in the United Kingdom. [1] The CSA teaches degree programmes at undergraduate, postgraduate and research levels and in 2013, Will Alsop became Professor of Architecture at CSA and continues to support the school. [2]
The school also offers a guest lecture series called Multistory which allows students to engage with industry experts and professionals of the architectural world. The CSA offers an undergraduate course (BA (Hons)) which has exemption to the RIBA and prescription to the ARB Part One exam; a professional postgraduate course (MArch) which offers exemption to the RIBA and prescription to the ARB Part Two exam and also other undergraduate, postgraduate and research degrees in other specialisms of architecture and interior architecture.
The school was previously part of UCA's predecessor colleges, UCCA (the University College for the Creative Arts), and KIAD (the Kent Institute of Art and Design).

A bachelor's degree or baccalaureate is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to six years. The two most common bachelor's degrees are the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and the Bachelor of Science. In some institutions and educational systems, certain bachelor's degrees can only be taken as graduate or postgraduate educations after a first degree has been completed, although more commonly the successful completion of a bachelor's degree is a prerequisite for further courses such as a master's or a doctorate.
Undergraduate education is education conducted after secondary education and before postgraduate education. It typically includes all postsecondary programs up to the level of a bachelor's degree. For example, in the United States, an entry-level university student is known as an undergraduate, while students of higher degrees are known as graduate students. Upon completion of a number of required and elective courses as part of an undergraduate program, the student would earn the corresponding degree. In some other educational systems, undergraduate education is postsecondary education up to and including the level of a master's degree; this is the case for some science courses in Britain and some medicine courses in Europe.
