Outline
The Master of Architecture (MArch) is a two-year, full-time programme. It is a graduate-level degree that leads to a professional qualification in architecture and exemption from the ARB/RIBA Part 2 examination. It is structured around a number of flexible curriculum pathways through a series of integrated or modular design studios. The overarching focus of the MArch is the relationship between architecture and urbanism. It is a challenging and dynamic programme in which students work closely with tutors and a prestigious array of international visiting critics in the formulation and development of integrated design propositions. Students who come to Edinburgh will find a supportive and stimulating environment in which to engage creatively and rigorously with the many facets of contemporary architectural practice.
The MArch (Part 2) has ARB prescription.
