Course Summary

The Master of Architecture explores new approaches to architectural practice, through making, innovation and collaboration. This two-year, full-time, studio-based course, is the second part of the three-part qualification in becoming an architect. This design-based professional qualification, accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB). You’ll work alongside fellow makers, collaborators, and enablers who have come from different schools around the world you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate across the arts. This course takes its approach from the context of the ‘shared studio-based arts university’ where all courses are making. This philosophy is applied throughout the taught units by emphasising the role of drawing, models and texts in the making of architecture the things we make – to think about the things we make. As a student you’ll be asked to develop projects with strong narratives commenting on current social, cultural and environmental issues. In each unit you’re encouraged to give architectural expression to your own personal views and visions, whilst aiming to produce tangible propositions, mindful of how they might be realised.
