MArch Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part 2)

The course has been designed for applicants seeking a route to registration in the UK and who already have Part 1 exemption as well as at least a year’s professional experience. However, there are opportunities for students without this work experience to join the course. If you are in any doubt as to your eligibility to join the course, you are encouraged to apply, stating your experience and qualifications. All suitable applicants are then interviewed prior to acceptance onto the course.

Applicants must have:

• Preferably ARB/RIBA Part 1 or exemption from it, but we will consider applications without Part 1 who have undertaken non-UK or non-validated architecture degrees. Before qualifying as a UK architect, students must have obtained Part 1, as well as Part 2 and 3. Please contact the ARB regarding eligibility for their Prescribed Part 1 exam;
• in most cases, not less than 40 weeks of appropriate professional experience prior to entry;
• a high level of basic design skill as well as an ability to engage in a rigorous, graduate programme of study;
• an understanding of architecture as both an academic subject and an ongoing practice; and
• a commitment and motivation to the practice of architecture.

We will give preference to applicants who have:

• 2:2 or above honours degree; and
• evidence of a range of experience in either architectural practice or an allied design/construction environment.
