Cardiff and Bath are very popular in their architecture program, let her check em out
I appreciate the recommendations. It's interesting to me that the only 5* A rated school in architecture (built environment) is Salford, which I didn't even know existed, and Ulster is the only other 5 A. Then again I don't know how accurate the RAE is, especially when they're doing a new one now and it's 7 years old.

This whole British system is confusing as hell to me though. The diploma (offered at a few places) is for people who have a bachelors and don't want another, and it lasts 2-3 years (which is the same length as the bachelors anyway?) and then... you get a masters in another 2-4 years? It seems like the UK process is much longer (and convoluted), as opposed to most US MArch programs which seem to let people in with some background in physics/mechanics, or engineering.
