Course Overview

Our MA History of Architecture explores built and designed objects, their social, economic, and political contexts, their connections to culture and thought, and their urban and landscape settings. This course will train you at a high level to look at, think about and write about, and research architecture and its fascinating histories.

You will discover varied approaches to the study of architecture, and the course allows you to focus in-depth on areas and periods that you find particularly interesting. Through option modules, you can choose to study the early and modern - including contemporary - periods and range across a variety of geographic places. You will improve your visual and spatial acuity, deepen your knowledge of architecture's histories, and hone your ability to understand and contribute to stimulating critical debates. You will also improve your research skills.
