    MArch: 2 years full-time, 3 years part-time

Course Description

Our MArch Architecture RIBA 2 course as a whole encourages fresh thinking, experimentation and risk. You will be encouraged to understand and engage with the society you are part of and to engage with social, political and economic infrastructures that predetermine built form.

We’re committed to expanding creative possibilities through ambitious engagement with the world around us. You’re encouraged to explore particular lines of interest and develop ideas in depth.

Our course is fully accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and Architects Registration Board (ARB). Upon graduation you will receive your RIBA part 2 qualification, the second stage of three in the professional qualification of an Architect in the UK.

The Metropolitan Architecture Student Society (MASS) is very active in organising lectures, events and socials, and has a wide network of industry sponsors. To see what they’re up to, follow MASS on Instagram and Twitter.
