Course summary

Our RIBA and ARB accredited Master of Architecture Part 2 course will provide you with the opportunity to develop personal interests around three thematically distinct ‘Units’. You will develop your professional knowledge and skills through extended research-led projects, which you will work on individually and as part of a group.

Areas of enquiry can include those of current public debate and contention within Aberdeen city and region, or live scenarios where you will inform the deliberations and decision making of diverse organisations.

You will also have the fantastic opportunity to travel, whether on study trips to look at the very best of international design or on student exchanges in a partnership institution for one term in Year 5.
