| Summary | This course requires students to curate the academic work produced during their BA/MA degree and present it in the form of an integrated academic portfolio - defined by the Architect' Registration Board as: 'a comprehensive chronological record of student's design project work together with all coursework, including reports, dissertations, sketch books and any other evidence of work, (with project briefs and examination papers), that have been assessed as part of the degree leading to an award of Part 1'. The work to curate and present the portfolio is independent of the work from the courses themselves. The course emphasizes the design and conceptualisation skills required to integrate and present diverse knowledges and media. It is introduced during Years 1 & 2 to ensure that students document their work as part of a personal development plan.

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Compose a coherent, well designed and integrated architectural design portfolio that documents and communicates architectural knowledge, skills and abilities, and that synthesizes and presents work produced using diverse media (sketch books, written work, computer work, drawings and models, etc).
- Integrate knowledge in architectural design, technology and environment, histories and theories of architecture and the related arts, professionalism and regulatory frameworks as evidenced through the content of the portfolio.
- Reflect on personal development with reference to the attainment of the ARB/RIBA Part 1 Graduate Attributes through an introductory summative statement, and understand the relationship of the General Criteria to the student's work, as demonstrated through a referencing system in the portfolio.
