You’ll use lateral thinking, creativity and your own problem solving skills to engage with relevant architectural issues, fully engaging with the discipline and its place in our culture.

    The Erasmus Scheme gives you an opportunity to study at a European university as well, in places such as Croatia, Turkey, Spain and Germany.

    Course Outline

    This program is delivered over the course of 2 years. Each year will consist of 4 taught modules, 2 per term.

    You’ll be part of several thematic groups during the two years of this program. Each will give you access to a broad range of architectural design challenges and skills, and will reflect the current work and passions of the various consultants and instructors that contribute to it.  Students are encouraged to move between research and studio groups between years, to get a wider mix of instructors and teaching methods.

    Year 1 Modules:

    • Arch Studio 1
    • Architectural Research: Humanities Dissertation (project work)
    • Arch Studio 2
    • Architectural Research: Technology Dissertation (project work)

    In addition, year one will include a Student Experience field trip to a city in mainland Europe. Other field trips are also likely. You can use this as an opportunity to develop and redefine the relationship between research, architectural design and critical praxis, exploring deliberately challenging architectural propositions.

    Year 2 Modules:

    • Arch Studio 3
    • Thesis Research
    • Arch Studio 4
    • Professional Skills

    Learning & Teaching

All of their efforts will be aided by academic staff who are both expert and enthusiastic about the discipline.
