Course summary

Join a new generation of architects with our Master of Architecture (MArch) course. At the University of Reading, you’ll study architecture in a UK professional context, but with a global outlook. You’ll examine the role of architecture in a rapidly urbanising world – in cultural, social and environmental contexts – where new approaches are needed. Many schools of architecture focus on innovation in physical form and communication. At Reading, we stand out by also focusing on innovation in use. We explore the possibilities a new structure or space can provide for a community to engage with its surroundings – to inspire different ways of thinking and behaving. Our curriculum draws on expertise from architecture, urban planning, social sciences, art and related disciplines. Through your studies at Reading, you’ll engage with the rich, varied and interconnected nature of design in the UK. We have worked closely with industry partners to ensure that our curriculum is responsive to the ever-changing forms and expectations of the architectural profession. What you'll learn: At Reading School of Architecture, your postgraduate studies will focus on four core strands of architectural practice: architectural design, research methods, architectural technologies, professional skills. These core strands will provide a framework for you to: extend your research skills, think creatively, critically and analytically, self-appraise, work collaboratively in a team. You’ll also have the opportunity to choose from a series of optional modules, including related modules in built environment subject specialisms. These modules will broaden your knowledge of the industry and foster cross-disciplinary exchanges.
