Course summary
Join a new generation of architects with our Master of Architecture (MArch) course. Continue your architectural studies on this postgraduate programme, the second stage in becoming a qualified architect in the UK. We aim to equip you with the skills of a twenty-first century architect: one who utilises space through quality design, innovates responsibly within a world of finite resources, and shapes environments to leave a positive legacy for future generations. At the Reading School of Architecture, we study architecture in a UK professional context, but with a global outlook. You will examine architecture's role within a rapidly urbanising world — and through a cultural, social and environmental lens — where new approaches are needed.
