About the course

The MArch is designed to equip you with the skills you need to succeed in your chosen career. The architecture programmes at Northumbria are all framed in relation to a common ethos and approach. Contextual Awareness: The exploration and importance of place, reading the context and being responsive to site as a precursor to change and adaptation and Environmental Literacy: In response to the climate emergency, we aim to become a ‘zero carbon’ school of architecture… Environmental literacy will be embedded in every module assignment and assessment. Your work will be integral to developing and achieving this ambition.

　　The MArch course fulfils the ARB/RIBA Part II requirements for professional accreditation, and will enable you to develop the higher level skills of design and research needed to support self-directed architectural design projects, and to shape your future career. The majority of MArch graduates secure positions in national and international design-led architectural practices. Many of the skills developed through the programme are transferrable, including autonomous learning, critical curiosity, social responsibility and both manual and digital communication skills. The skills acquired through the course have enabled our graduates to diversify into such fields as construction, BIM, visualisation, property development, urban design, set design, project management and housing, as well as to continue into doctoral studies.
