Course Overview

Our Architecture MArch program is designed to respond to contemporary issues in the industry, grounded in both theory and professional practice. Our inquiry-led approach to education will teach you to tackle complex problems, unending questions and help you synthesize your ideas to produce critical work. You will be supported to take risks, learn from mistakes and be bold in creatively exploring your ideas. Current issues in the architectural debate are studied through deep foundations in historical and philosophical thought, contemporary states of urban inhabitation, challenges to sustainable ecology, the ramifications of modern technology, legal and economic contexts, and the state of the profession. Our design studios are delivered through advanced, research-by-design led units and offer a range of specialist pathways for you to develop an independent and critical position on architecture. Studio options range from high-density housing to sustainable futures, and advanced material investigations. We encourage an open-ended spirit of inquiry to advance knowledge through rigorous, exploratory, and playful processes. Our experience and knowledge, combined with your personal ambition, will enable us to challenge existing conventions and redefine the future of architectural practice together.
