Masters Degrees in Architecture Building and Planning

Masters degrees in architecture, building & planning provide the advanced training necessary to design and maintain a wide range of built and natural environments – from urban infrastructure to famous country estates and national parks.

Architecture, Building & Planning qualifications are offered through the Apprenticeship route. This scheme allows companies to train their staff to meet the technical requirements of modern buildings. Students can gain skills as they progress through their careers, in the same way as accountancy and the legal profession.

A number of alternative career pathways are open to students who qualify in as architects or planners such as surveyors, project supervisors and environmental management.
