These degrees are taught within the same programme structure for the first stage of the academic year. In the second stage of the programme the MArch options proceed separately based on individual dissertation projects. MA/MSc dissertation projects are expected to combine design research with case study work related to students’ backgrounds. MArch dissertation projects are expected to carry the research into an original design application developed in some detail. The MA/MSc are 12-month programmes open to applicants with professional qualifications in architecture, engineering or other related disciplines. The MArch is a 16-month programme open to applicants with a five-year professional degree in architecture.
