The Diploma Programme aims to introduce students to the study of advanced architectural research and design methods, and new approaches to practice. Throughout its history, the Diploma Programme has fostered some of the most innovative, challenging and progressive thinking in architecture.
As projects are developed within the Diploma Programme’s year-long studio units, teaching aims to improve the technical proficiency of the students as well as engaging with a critical agenda relating to broader societal questions with which architecture intersects.
Lively, informed debate permeates life in the Diploma Programme, inspiring students to develop rigorous, inventive design and research projects. This process aims to allow students to find their voices as architects, and also offers a means of articulating ideas that they can carry with them into their professional careers.
The Programme exists alongside public events and publications, spontaneous discussions, unexpected encounters and vibrant exchanges that take place throughout the academic year. This confluence of activity keeps the Programme in a constant transformative flux that permeates the spaces of the school, and the projects, ideas and ambitions of the students.

We understand the benefits of using AI and ChatGPT in work. However, if you are thinking of using ChatGPT or other AI tools to support your application, we ask you to think carefully about what value it adds and that you reference any use of it.
