Where to study architecture and built environment

In our data, the most institutions recorded as teaching architecture and built environment are in Australia (362), the United States (311), the United Kingdom (94), Poland (48), Spain (34), France (26). The counts come from official course data where a country publishes it, so countries without such data are under-counted.

Among the countries where we hold both course data and official cost figures, a first year (public tuition for international students, living costs and the visa fee) starts lowest in Poland (about EUR 7,000), Portugal (about EUR 8,400), Italy (about EUR 8,800), Spain (about EUR 10,000), France (about EUR 11,400). Fees for architecture and built environment can be above the average, so check the course page.

Architecture and built environment leads to a regulated profession in most countries. Before you apply abroad, ask the professional body in the country where you want to work whether it recognises the degree.
