Course Description

Join a new generation of architects with our Master of Architecture (MArch) course.

Continue your architectural studies on this postgraduate programme, the second stage in becoming a qualified architect in the UK.

Entry Requirements

You must have achieved a 2:2 or higher on a Part 1 ARB validated (prescribed) award.

You must also submit a sample portfolio (max. 10MB) as part of your application, showing evidence of your creative ability, problem-solving skills, architectural knowledge and potential for postgraduate study. If you are invited to interview you will be able to present a full portfolio.
