Architecture MA

Royal College of Art

An ambitious re-imagining of architectural practices. Benefit from our interdisciplinary ethos that offers an original way to conduct practice-based, design-led research in this field. Study a programme which fosters an inclusive, critical and responsive context in which architecture is explored as a medium, rather than a goal. Engage with the intergenerational concerns and conditions that define our era. Inequalities. Global imbalance. Environmental collapse. Architecture is entangled and implicated within our contemporary world. There has never been a more urgent time to critically reflect on the ethical dilemmas that are embedded in the discipline and to forge new paths to create meaningful change. We seek to understand architecture through a new set of conditions. Joining us, you’ll be part of a programme that tackles pressing political, social, and ecological questions, empowering you to redefine your practice and contribute to positive change in the world. Accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB) our two-year Part II MA is at the forefront of architectural education practice. You’ll be given space to follow your own direction and explore experimental techniques, all within a supportive and research-informed space.
