Architecture Part II MArch

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MArch 2 years full-time

Course Description

The Master of Architecture (MArch) course focuses on design innovation and current theories of architecture and urbanism to challenge your thinking and prepare you for practice. The studios, workshops and CAD suites at UCLan are among the UK’s best and you will receive regular one-to-one tutorial support from a team who are leading thinkers and practitioners in their field. In addition, opportunities for international study and lively discussion with a variety of visiting speakers will enrich your experience and inspire your creativity.

The MArch course provides progression for Part 1 Architecture graduates to a Part 2 course (which is a requirement for professional membership).

The MArch course builds on knowledge acquired in undergraduate courses, yet it establishes a clear distinction between Part 1 and 2 levels by enabling students to progress their design work and critical thinking skills further to position themselves within contemporary architecture discourse. The course is informed by a dynamic and challenging regional need, specifically in areas such as urban and rural contextual issues, food production, regeneration, post-industrial landscapes, heritage protection, and sustainable urbanism.

Entry Requirements

Applicants must hold a good honours degree in architecture or equivalent subject. It is also preferable for applicants to demonstrate some professional experience in architectural practice or a related field.

Applications from all candidates will be considered on their individual merits and in the light of the nature and scope of the programme or work proposed.

Enquiries are welcomed. Please contact the Course Leader for an informal discussion.

Student Destinations

If you wish to progress to a professional qualification you’ll need to spend two years working in architectural practice or related field of work. This work experience can be undertaken at any time prior to taking the RIBA Part 3 examination. Usually students spend their fourth year in practice but you can if you wish progress directly onto the master’s after gaining an appropriate undergraduate degree. Working abroad is recognised by the ARB, but 12 months of the required work experience need to be undertaken within the EU.

Once validated, completion of the 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.
