What will I learn?

Our two-year research-led programme empowers you to ask meaningful questions, to explore real-world challenges and to practice socially engaged design. The course encourages diversity of technique, and exploration. Your perspective, developed through focused project work, will be powerful and distinctive. Project themes are closely connected to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). These range from social and environmental justice to the impact of political crisis and altering historical perspectives. Our vertical design studios will enable you to explore important issues with an innovative approach. You might study the legacies of modernist architecture, regenerative construction and developing the bio-materials of the future, the impact of design on health, wellbeing and recovery, or something else entirely. Wherever your interests lie, you'll tackle real-world issues with creativity and purpose. As your own critical thought and creative application develops, you will take the principles of research-led design and refined practical skills forward into your own future.

Entry requirements

For international students

A 2:2 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.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
