Architecture

This programme is offered by the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA).

It is carefully structured to give you a wider understanding of architecture as part of culture and society.

Your studies will include contemporary conversations taking place not only in architecture but also in:

* landscape

* construction

* urbanism

* economics

* politics

* ethical practice

Study pathways

All students begin on the MA (Hons) Architecture programme.

At the end of Year 2, you will choose one of two pathways:

* three-year BA Architecture

* four-year MA (Hons) Architecture

The three-year option is good if you want to prioritise qualifying, or if you wish to develop your broader academic interests.

The four-year option means you qualify with an MA (Hons) degree. You can also choose a variant of this pathway that includes studying abroad.

Why Edinburgh?

Both pathways are shaped by the educational, research and practice expertise of our committed staff.

You will join a large creative community of artists and scholars. This includes design tutors with practice and specialist expertise.

Your learning will be supported by world-class workshops and technical facilities.

Edinburgh is a place of outstanding architectural interest and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Models of design thinking and working grow directly out of operating within this unique context.
