Advanced Architecture Design (Taught)

Our MArch Advanced Architecture Design programme focuses on the development and application of specialist architectural knowledge and advanced design techniques and technologies.

It is established to respond to the increasing competition in the professional procurement of buildings and the growing demand for specialist knowledge and skills in the pursuit of architectural excellence.

This programme offers the opportunity to concentrate on architectural or urban design, humanities, environmental design and technology to a high level of sophistication without the need to work within a single specialist area.

Learning will take place through a range of specialist lectures, seminars and design studio modules you will explore current and future issues facing urban designers, architects and technologists, and develop the skills, knowledge and awareness required in the fast-moving world of contemporary architectural research and practice.

In the autumn and spring semesters, you will complete 120 credits worth of modules. This will include:

• a major research-led design 'package' in one of the specialist areas offered in each semester

• consisting of a studio project and seminar series, as well as an additional lecture/seminar module

• over the summer semester, you will complete a 60-credit written dissertation

Assessment is based on a dissertation.
