The MArch Architecture course is for graduates of architecture with ARB/RIBA Part 1 who wish to gain exemption from ARB/RIBA Part 2. Our aim is to prepare students for the complexities of contemporary architectural practice by providing a rich mix of rigorous academic and professional teaching. All students choose a Design Unit in which to undertake their project work – each Unit has a different specialism and is led by a highly experienced team.

The first year of the course starts by developing advanced skills in urban design and digital representation that can be applied to a major building project in conjunction with a professionally mentored ‘Design Realisation’ technical report. Additionally, students are exposed to current theoretical trends that form the basis for ambitious speculations on contemporary architecture.

The second year of study takes the aspirations of the students work to a higher level of professional and academic engagement. An integrated advanced architectural design project and specialist theoretical and/or technological thesis are developed with respect to the students own interests and passions.

The part-time mode is intended for students working in a supportive architectural practice and requires attendance two days a week over three years.
