This programme explores what history can do for architecture. It examines architecture, not just as autonomous buildings, cities or designs, but through the society in which they are located and the ideas and debates they give rise to.
The Architectural History MA at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, is the UK's longest-established degree in the historical, theoretical, and critical interpretation of architecture, cities, urban spaces, and creative practices. Since its inception in 1981, this pioneering programme has consistently evolved, emphasising the exploration of both new and existing methodologies and critical theories applied to the study of architecture and urban environments.
This programme moves beyond traditional architectural studies, which often focus on the works of renowned individuals, landmark buildings, or stylistic classifications. Instead, it places architecture within a broader spectrum of social, ideological, creative, political, material, technological, theoretical, and urban processes. This comprehensive approach equips students with the tools to critically interpret buildings, texts, architects, urban spaces, cities, and various representations and creative practices from Early Modern to contemporary contexts.
The normal minimum qualifications are a second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.
Consideration will also be given if the qualification is a degree of lower than second-class Honours standard, or an equivalent overseas qualification, in a subject appropriate to the programme, plus extensive background and experience in the field. The latter implies considerable experience as a professional at a senior level. For applicants without a first degree or full professional membership, but with relevant and substantial work experience in the field, a special qualifying examination may be set. Details of this route can be obtained from the Bartlett's Faculty Office.
