    Master

  • Duration

    2 Years

Our course meets ARB/RIBA requirements for part 2 architectural education. It gives you the enhanced architectural knowledge and practical experience you need to create complex design proposals.

Our teaching is based on the philosophical tradition of Karl Popper's critical rationalism and develops your ability to apply this through analysing and critiquing architecture as a discipline. Design studio projects are a chance for you to explore the design process in depth. You’ll focus on generating diverse ideas and approaches that build upon your existing knowledge to develop new skills.

Our course integrates a semester-long placement at the start of your first year. This focus on practical experience ensures that you have a solid grounding in working in an architectural practice. It also develops your understanding of the changing role of the architect in the construction industry.

Combining academic with professional experience in your first semester will help you relate design and management theories to practice. Lectures in your second semester cover a range of topics from architectural history, theory and science to sustainability and urban design. You could also have the opportunity to take a field trip and workshop based in another city in the UK or Europe.

In your second year, you’ll investigate design in more depth through research and studio projects. This gives you the chance to focus on areas of architecture that interest you. Through group project work, you'll analyse architectural possibilities to create sustainable building and urban design solutions. You’ll study a city of your choice and develop a project brief for your final studio project.

Our Department of Architecture & Civil Engineering provides you with a supportive academic environment to study in.
