What will I learn?

Our two-year MArch will take you to an advanced level of architectural design. Youll explore the full range of skills required to be an architect, while focusing on developing your personal outlook and professional experience.

The first year of the programme will be spent predominantly in architectural practice, on a placement which you will need to secure before you enrol. You will attend three short courses to help you reflect on the professional and legal aspects of the practical work youre engaged in. Your second year will be spent on a dissertation and design thesis, immersing yourself in the dynamic and collaborative studio culture of our School. This combination of practical and theoretical gives you a unique opportunity to learn from and reflect on professional practice to develop your individual stance and professional perspectives.
