Our MArch Architecture course focuses on design innovation and current theories of architecture and urbanism to challenge your thinking and prepare you for practice.
Our studios, workshops and CAD suites are among the best in the UK and you’ll receive regular one-to-one tutorial support from a team who are leading thinkers and practitioners in their field.
This MArch course provides progression for Part 1 Architecture graduates to a Part 2 course, which is a requirement for professional membership. Building on the knowledge you acquired on your undergraduate course, you’ll get to advance your design work and critical thinking skills.
Applicants will have achieved a minimum 2:2 Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture (ARB / RIBA recognised Part I) or similar discipline* and may have successfully completed a period of time (typically 1 year) in architectural practice commensurate with RIBA Stage 1 Professional Experience
*Please note those students who enter the course without a recognised ARB / RIBA Part 1 qualification are required to make their own arrangements for Part 1 recognition externally
Students applying for the Masters in Architecture must have a minimum level of proficiency equal to IELTS 6.0 with no component score lower than 5.5 or equivalent in the English language
Once validated, completion of this master’s course in Architecture aims to prepare you for exemption from the RIBA Part 2 examination and for access to the next stage in your career in professional practice.
If you wish to progress to a professional qualification, you’ll need to spend two years working in architectural practice or a related field. This work experience can be undertaken at any time prior to taking the RIBA Part 3 examination.
