Career opportunities
The MArch forms the second stage in a process that will enable you to register and practise as a professional architect in the UK.
Programme Structure
The programme emphasises studio-based investigation within a stimulating environment that enables creativity, experimentation and critical engagement with architectural design through making and drawing.
It offers the opportunity to select from:
- studios linked across the full two years
- a series of discrete thematic studios that vary from year to year
Many studios engage in elements of collaborative work fostering a creative and social exchange amongst peers. There is a clear emphasis on the relationship between architecture and the city and the evolution of the student’s individual position in current theoretical debate. The studios reflect the research interests and expertise of their tutors.
