Course summary
Architecture MSci integrates the development of architectural design skills with an understanding of the complex social and technical environments in which buildings are produced. The programme guides students to become architects who are expert researchers and are both the initiators of building designs and effective members of the building team. Architecture MSci is design-based, structured around four years of core taught modules and a fifth and final year in a placement in architectural practice. Students across the first four years look at an annual theme that consists of a broad architectural and social issue, changing each year. The chosen theme will be examined from a local and global perspective, both historically and in terms of current and future challenges. The final year of this integrated programme is in placement or, if unavailable, students have the option to take the two final-year modules from the school’s Architecture MArch programme.
