This programme is Part 2 of the three parts required to become a professional architect in the UK. Continue your architectural studies with a focus on quality design, innovating responsibly in a world of finite resources, and shaping environments that leave a positive legacy.

Learn through a combination of taught modules, lectures, seminars and workshops, and further your professional and creative skills in a series of vertical design studios conceived as research units and run across the two years. These studios will involve partnerships with practices, Invisible Studio and Haworth Tompkins, including the sharing of a design problem and an investigative and applied research approach that will become the basis for your design thesis and dissertation.

You’ll be supported to become an active researcher and innovative practitioner with a formidable skillset. We’ll also encourage you to explore opportunities such as gaining teaching experience, studying abroad, and undertaking credit-bearing practical training.

On completion of our Master of Architecture programme, you will be required to complete a period of professional experience and the related examination to be eligible to achieve statutory registered status as a UK architect. In addition to key professional skills, you’ll receive a strong foundation in research methods to prepare you to join PhD programmes in both traditional and practice modes in architecture and related disciplines.
