About the course

MArch Architecture (ARB / RIBA Part 2) is a two-year full-time course that produces graduate architects who are fully equipped for a career in the architectural profession. It is designed to be the next step towards pursuing an accredited pathway to become a registered architect.

　　Fully accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and prescribed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB), the course fully satisfies the educational requirements for RIBA Part 2: the step you'll need before practical experience and the Part 3 qualification.

　　With focus on a global outlook, we set collaborative, industry-facing projects in local, national, and international contexts. The course framework enables you to advance your ability to research, analyse, self-appraise, think critically, work in a team and provide constructive feedback. With core legal, management and design leadership skills built into the course content, you’ll develop high-level skills needed for advanced industry practice.

　　Our MArch Architecture course content is focused on four core strands: developing your design and communication skills. extending your awareness and knowledge of the theory and socio-economic, historic and cultural factors affecting architectural design. advancing your appreciation of technology and construction methods. developing your knowledge of management, practise and law. Together, this framework will build upon the skills and knowledge you have already gained, extending your ability to research, analyse, self-appraise, think critically, work in a team and provide constructive feedback.
