PostgraduateCourse summary
The Lincoln School of Architecture and the Built Environment's Master of Architecture (MArch) provides you with the opportunity to consolidate your formative education and experiences in practice, challenging you to question your preconception of the discipline, and encouraging you to engage not just with the contemporary challenges facing the practice of architecture, but to engage speculatively and critically with the future of the discipline. The aim of this two-year Master's programme is to create a collaborative environment where students can access and can draw from multiple perspectives and architectural agendas, in order to synthesize their own approach and philosophy, allowing them to speculate meaningfully on future architectures and practices, through the delivery of practice design rich, practice-based experimentation and enquiry. The course carries validation from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the curriculum is prescribed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) as satisfying the Part 2 Criteria.
Modules
For the most up to date module information, please visit the course page for this programme on our website. Some programmes provide you with the opportunity to focus your study in a particular area through optional modules. Timetabling arrangements may limit the availability of some optional modules to some students. As the options often reflect staff research interests, they may alter over time due to staff availability.
Assessment method
Formative assessment occurs constantly throughout the programme by means of studio discussion, draft written assignments, and reviews. Summative assessment is via final presentation project supported by written project documentation (the type of presentation and nature of the written documentation varies via module). Assessment Feedback The University of Lincoln's policy on assessment feedback aims to ensure that academics will return in-course assessments to students promptly usually within 15 working days of the submission date.
