Module Details

The MArch (by conversion) programme takes a further term of full-time study or by agreement with the Head of School, three terms part-time. During this time, students develop ideas arising from their previous year’s work, which are of particular interest to them. They develop fluency in the discussion of contemporary issues, which encourages them to place their own work in the wider context of present day architecture and society.

The exhibition at the end of the programme is seen as a valuable demonstration of the highest level of student aspiration and achievement and an important teaching tool for the School. Students are encouraged to devise and organise a public exhibition of their work.
