Masters Degree Description

The course is made up of eight units taught over two years full-time and three years part-time study. Each unit falls into the area of Design Studio, Research or Professional Studies.

Studio options range from practitioner-led masterclasses, or active research in coastal architectural design, contemporary considerations in conservation/rehabilitation, modern vernacular architecture in provincial towns and rural areas.

You will be supported to tackle real-world issues, while speculating and proposing new futures through bold experimentation and boundless enquiry in project-based learning.

Our tutors come from industry and research and our community is a place where academics, practitioners and students are co-designing new ways of thinking.

Teaching is delivered in a dedicated postgraduate studio space, equipped with computer workstations, model-making facilities, large format printers and 3D printers.

Student Destinations

Under the Architects Act 1997, only those on the Architects Register are permitted to use the title of ‘Architect’ in business or practice in the UK. The current route to registration involves completion of three accredited qualifications – Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 – and a minimum of 24 months professional experience. After completion of these components, you can register as an Architect with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and join the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) as a Chartered Architect.

In 2023, the ARB published and consulted on proposals for a new framework for the initial education and training of Architects, under the title Tomorrow’s Architects. Under the new framework, you will need to hold an ARB-accredited master’s-level qualification and an accredited practice qualification (or an accredited combined qualification) that show you have met the necessary Competency Outcomes (the threshold competencies that all architects on the Register are expected to have) and have the practice experience required to join the Register of Architects and become an Architect.
