On our two-year programme you'll engage with challenging ideas and theories, tackle meaningful problems through creative and exploratory design and research.

Our diverse programme is structured around vertical design studios taught across both stages of the programme.

Each studio sets an agenda and brief and will help you to develop and apply critical thinking, practical tools and methods to your own design process.

Through our elective modules you'll work closely with academics in the School and contribute to:

  • emerging research on material sciences and cultures
  • processes and practices of architecture
  • environmental sustainability
  • histories of architecture
Being part of the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape means you can also take optional modules in Urban Design and Planning, offering an accelerated route to accredited masters in these disciplines following the MArch.

This is a modular MArch programme based on design project work. Lectures and seminars examine the theoretical, practical and material dimensions of architecture.

Through the course you’ll:

  • Develop an appreciation of design as a collective cultural endeavour involving the acquisition and exercise of complex knowledge and skills
  • Learn to think and act critically
  • Define the kind of architect you want to be
  • Develop the knowledge and skills necessary to work in the architectural profession with an independent, research-led attitude towards design
You'll engage with a wide range of staff in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape. The MArch Architecture course content makes direct links to staff research.

Our School Gallery has examples of our student's work and images from our Degree Shows and publications.

Admission Requirements

6.5+
70+
3.3+
90+

A 2:1 honours degree, or international equivalent, in Architecture. We prefer this to be recognised by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) as successful completion of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Part I.  

You will need to submit a portfolio and may need to attend an interview.

We will also consider applicants on an individual basis with a lower or non-accredited qualification.

Whilst you can enter our MArch (Part II) programme without previously passing RIBA (Part I), if you wish to practice in the UK you will need to satisfy the requirements of the RIBA by passing the RIBA Part I and Part III exams.

Part III can be taken here in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape and is a part time placement year programme.
