Spatial Design MA is new for entry year 2026.
Physical environments have the power to drive social, environmental and ethical change. This course explores that potential: examining how heritage, culture and ecology shape the built environment, and helping you forge your own impactful design practice.
On this studio-based master's course, you’ll work collaboratively in industry-standard facilities, learning to design spaces - interior, civic, cultural and environmental - that are responsible, ethical and responsive to real communities.
As you master new and emerging digital technologies, including spatial recording and analysis and mixed and virtual realities (MR/VR), you will be encouraged to specialise within the field of spatial design, developing your interests and expertise. You will also develop the critical research methods, visual communication and presentation skills required to take your professional practice towards key industry roles or further doctoral study.
You’ll emerge from the course as an expert in your chosen field, whether that’s rebuilding in post-industrial contexts, reimagining civic interiors, adapting heritage spaces or designing for environmental repair.
