So, I'm currently in my first semester of a BA Business Economics course at Sheffield Hallam University but I'm massively regretting it since it involves pretty high level Maths. Therefore, I'm contemplating dropping out and giving a different choice of course a shot - Architecture being one of my interests.
First of all, what is the course like, is there essential things/knowledge that need to be known before entering the BSc course? I have no experience in Architecture, it's just am option for me since I really do enjoy sketching and designing.
Secondly, the 100% for the modules is really appealing to me since I HATE exams, I like to put work into something that I know I'll get some form of grade out of it. Do you like this feature to the course / what do you typically do in the assignments?
Also, one of my friends is currently studying Architecture and he says that it will take him 6-7 years to do what he wants to do. What would this be doing exactly? I believe he wants to be an Architect that designs houses and estates, but I can't see what he has to put that amount years since the BSc is 3 years and the MSc is 1 year /18 months. If someone could clear this up and basically give me the breakdown on the necessary steps someone needs to take to become an Architect.
Simply, what should I expect from the course? I'm just trying to get a good idea of what the course is like since I definitely rushed into my Business Economics course and ended up disliking it.
Replies and comments would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
