Course Description

The MArch Architecture RIBA 2 course is a design-driven programme designed to help students refine their skills and achieve excellence in their architectural practice. The curriculum focuses on key areas including design, technology, practice, history, and theory, all taught by a diverse range of tutors with a strong emphasis on self-directed study. Students are encouraged to experiment, take risks, and engage deeply with the social, political, and economic infrastructures that shape the built environment. The course is available in both full-time (2 years) and part-time (3 years) study modes. Based in central London, students benefit from access to extensive art and design facilities, including workshops for furniture-making, ceramics, and high-end digital reproduction. The institution’s strong industry networks and active student society provide excellent opportunities for professional development, preparing graduates for successful careers in architecture. This course is fully accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB), marking the second stage of professional qualification for architects in the UK.
