Course Description

MArch Architecture (ARB / RIBA Part 2) is a two-year full-time course that produces graduate architects who are fully equipped for a career in the architectural profession. It is designed to be the next step towards pursuing an accredited pathway to become a registered architect.

Fully accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and prescribed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB), the course fully satisfies the educational requirements for RIBA Part 2: the step you’ll need before practical experience and the Part 3 qualification.

With focus on a global outlook, we set collaborative, industry-facing projects in local, national, and international contexts. The course framework enables you to advance your ability to research, analyse, self-appraise, think critically, work in a team and provide constructive feedback. With core legal, management and design leadership skills built into the course content, you’ll develop high-level skills needed for advanced industry practice.

NTU is ranked joint 6th in the UK for Architecture Graduate Prospects (Complete University Guide 2024).

Entry Requirements

  • Usual requirement for entry on to this course is a 2:2 honours degree in a RIBA/ARB Part 1-accredited course.
  • In some cases, we accept applicants without an RIBA/ARB Part 1 who can provide an exceptional portfolio, supported by a number of years’ experience in architectural practice.
