Course summary

Why choose this course?

Architecture is a profession; this course is an integral part of a sequence of steps – RIBA parts 1, 2 and 3 - that lead to entry into it. Criteria for entry on to the UK Register of Architects are prescribed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB). The ARB and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) have agreed to hold the criteria in common and successful completion of the MArch degree gives Part 2 exemption.

In addition to this, the RIBA has introduced new Themes and Values for Architectural Education. This includes further focus on climate literacy, health and life safety, ethical practice, and research literacy. The modules in the programme work within this framework to provide a coherent balance of intellectual and practical skills, as well as working to develop students' transferable skills.

The course sits in the Department of Landscape and Architecture, part of the Faculty of Kingston School of Art (KSA). It is located in the compact Knights Park campus, alongside the range of other creative disciplines within KSA. It has immediate access to excellent and wide-ranging resources for physical making. This opportunity sits at the heart of the pedagogy in KSA and forms a key component of the MArch Architecture programme. Knights Park is a place in which to converse, to debate, to work and to learn from each other.

We are at the forefront of practice-led European architectural discourse. The Architecture MArch qualification is prescribed by the ARB. This course covers both ARB and RIBA criteria Part 2.

This course centres on the practice and theory, techniques and contexts of architectural design. It includes live making projects and engagement with practice and research.

You will deepen and consolidate the knowledge, understanding and skills acquired during your first degree and a recommended period of work-based learning. A dissertation will give you the chance to investigate an area of interest in depth.

Teaching and assessment

When not attending timetabled sessions, you will be expected to continue learning independently through self-study. This typically involves reading and analysing articles, regulations, policy documents and key texts, documenting individual projects, preparing coursework assignments and completing your PEDRs, etc.

Your independent learning is supported by a range of excellent facilities including online resources, the library and CANVAS, the University's online virtual learning platform.
