Course content
The Master of Architecture provides a vibrant, challenging and expansive programme of study that leads to RIBA Part II exemption. You will be exposed to a range of related disciplines such as urban design, interior design, sustainable design and historic building conservation, providing a cross-disciplinary learning environment.
Year one comprises two design units, which are informed and supported by two taught courses:
• Arche explores the cultural context of architecture through the discussion of theoretical constructs and the development of individual student manifestos.
• Techne engages with the technical and professional issues in delivering a complex building proposition.
In addition, work-based learning units provide the opportunity to integrate practicebased learning within the programme, enhancing your professional skills.
In your second year you will ‘bid’ for a placement in one of five specialist design studios that provide depth of study and specialism:
• Architecture and Landscape
• Architecture and Urbanism
• Architecture, Culture and Identity
• Finding Methodology + P
• Emergent Studio holds a phenomenological approach to design exploring trans-cultural influences.

Teaching and assessment
Design assessment is through studio review and taught courses are assessed by various forms of in-course formative and summative assessment. A diverse range of feedback is provided.

Career prospects
The unique learning experience we offer will develop you as an expansive, creative and professional individual capable of success in a range of creative and professional environments. The breadth of engagement with the discipline and range of studios ensures that you will become confident in responding to the demands of the profession.
