Course summary
The Master of Architecture (MArch) programme, validated by RIBA and accredited by the Architects Registration Board, is a design-intensive and research-led course tailored to respond to the contemporary challenges of the profession. In 2023, the Royal Institute of British Architects validation board commended the course for ‘equipping students with the skills and knowledge to question the broadening context of architectural practice, and in particular, a research-led approach to design.’ The programme is part of wide global and local architectural networks and is run by internationally-acclaimed academics and professionals. Keeping up with the prestige of being the first RIBA-validated architecture school in the UK, we are currently ranked 3rd in the UK for Architecture (The Guardian University Guide 2025).IntroductionThe success of our programme is owed to the following three factors: a collaborative practice that engages students in teamwork with their peers and expert professionals a research-driven curriculum that exposes students to a rich repertoire of themes and cultures and an international outlook that widens their professional horizon.Tutors with strong research and professional backgrounds instil competence and confidence in students to explore local and international issues in all areas of architecture. Working with real projects in the British context allows national stakeholders to inform the briefing and review process tackling international issues provides students with a wider knowledge of cities and architectures and the skills to work in different contexts on site and remotely. Our successful international field trips, design competitions, collaborations with different universities, as well as our extensive exchange programme further support this vision. We also have a very generous offering of prizes for students performing strongly in areas of our MArch degree.With its diverse research portfolio, a multi-disciplinary approach, and a strong professional network, the programme equips students with agency to develop their own agendas in all sectors of the built environment, offering more than one way to become an architect. Our graduates have an excellent record of employment in both internationally renowned offices and small-scale specialist practices.
