The London School of Architecture
In May 2025, the London School of Architecture (LSA) merged with the University of the Built Environment (at the time UCEM), uniting two innovative institutions with a shared commitment to accessible, practice-led education in the built environment.
The merger brings together our institution’s long-standing expertise in professional and flexible learning with the LSA’s pioneering approach to architectural education. Together, we are expanding opportunities for aspiring architects and built environment professionals to gain qualifications in a way that is practical, inclusive, and aligned with industry needs.
The LSA continues to operate as a distinct school delivering its specialist programmes. Its community of students and partners benefit from the increased collaboration and opportunity the wider University brings.
The LSA approach
The London School of Architecture is a network of students and practice. They educate future leaders to design innovations that contribute to the flourishing of humanity and the planet.
Their vision is that people living in cities experience more fulfilled and more sustainable lives. The School seeks to educate future leaders to design innovations that contribute to this change.
