Architecture

This course is centred on studio work that is intended to stretch the boundaries of your design imagination.

On our two-year programme you'll engage with challenging ideas and theories, tackle meaningful problems through creative and exploratory design and research.

Our diverse programme is structured around vertical design studios taught across both stages of the programme.

Each studio sets an agenda and brief and will help you to develop and apply critical thinking, practical tools and methods to your own design process.

Through our elective modules you'll work closely with academics in the School and contribute to:

- emerging research on material sciences and cultures

- processes and practices of architecture

- environmental sustainability

- histories of architecture

Being part of the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape means you can also take optional modules in Urban Design and Planning, offering an accelerated route to accredited masters in these disciplines following the MArch.

This is a modular MArch programme based on design project work. Lectures and seminars examine the theoretical, practical and material dimensions of architecture.

Through the course you’ll:

- Develop an appreciation of design as a collective cultural endeavour involving the acquisition and exercise of complex knowledge and skills

- Learn to think and act critically

- Define the kind of architect you want to be

- Develop the knowledge and skills necessary to work in the architectural profession with an independent, research-led attitude towards design

You'll engage with a wide range of staff in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape. The MArch Architecture course content makes direct links to staff research.
