Architecture MArch

Blending together art and science, the Architecture MArch aims to extend your knowledge and prepare you for a career in building design.

This course is designed to develop the creative and professional skills required for a career in architecture. Focusing primarily on studio-based design projects the course should stretch your design imagination, develop your critical thinking, and help and support you with responding proactively to a wide range of complex challenges. 

A good undergraduate degree in Architecture, normally RIBA/ARB Part 1. However RIBA/ARB Part 1 is not a prerequisite of the Master of Architecture program, and we can make offers to candidates – usually from outside the UK – without RIBA/ARB Part 1 exemption from a previous degree. Applicants are normally expected to have completed a ‘year out’ placement in practice with a completed PEDR logbook, or have equivalent experience. This will be determined at the application stage.

IELTS: 6.5 overall (with at least 5.5 in each component area). If you don't meet the English language requirements, you can achieve the level you need by successfully completing a pre-sessional English programme before you start your course.

This course is designed to prepare you for any role you obtain in architecture.

Graduates may also choose to pursue careers in a wide range of related professions or to pursue further academic studies at PhD level. Although work placements as such are not undertaken by the course, the nature of the course aims to provides strong links to industry with industry-led design briefs and input by visiting tutors from industry.
