Has Cardiff Uni changed their architecture course?

I currently have my heart set on studying architecture at Cardiff University, with predicted grades of A*AA (Sept 2025 entry). Tonight however, I've checked UCAS & when I click on 2025, the course suddenly switches from "architecture" to "architectural studies."
I am a little confused & would be heartbroken if the course has changed. Is architectural studies just another name for the architecture course or have they changed the content?

pretty sure it's the same course just with a different name, fwiw when I did my arch degree at Cardiff my internal transcripts all say BSc/MArch Architecture but my degree certificate says BSc Architectural Studies on it so I think they use both names
check the UCAS course code if you're unsure, it should be K100 I believe

I think its a good idea to email the School of Architecture at [email protected], and double check :smile:
