In the 2017 RIBA revalidation, the MArch programme was commended by the visiting assessors for "...t he Architecture programme's focus on urban design projects across a range of scales, evident in the work of the MArch students." Taught principally through a studio environment, the programme is underpinned and informed by lectures and workshops.

Its overarching ambition is to create graduates with artistic flair, who are technically skilled and grounded in the demands of the professional role of an architect. The learning and teaching environment is progressively informed by research in pedagogy in the creative field. While teaching the curriculum, the programme also develops less tangible skills in students, such as communication, presentation and self-motivation.

A key ambition is to create independent thinkers, adept at resolving problems with creativity and originality. Visit this year's degree show website and browse MArch student work Read more
