MA - Master of Arts
Kensington
Full Time
SEP-26
2 Years
An ambitious re-imagining of architectural practices. Benefit from our interdisciplinary ethos that offers an original way to conduct practice-based, design-led research in this field. Study a programme which fosters an inclusive, critical and responsive context in which architecture is explored as a medium, rather than a goal. Engage with the intergenerational concerns and conditions that define our era. Inequalities. Global imbalance. Environmental collapse. Architecture is entangled and implicated within our contemporary world. There has never been a more urgent time to critically reflect on the ethical dilemmas that are embedded in the discipline and to forge new paths to create meaningful change. We seek to understand architecture through a new set of conditions. Joining us, you’ll be part of a programme that tackles pressing political, social, and ecological questions, empowering you to redefine your practice and contribute to positive change in the world. Accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB) our two-year Part II MA is at the forefront of architectural education practice. You’ll be given space to follow your own direction and explore experimental techniques, all within a supportive and research-informed space.
The MA Architecture programme prioritises innovation and experimentation and we are looking for students with a strong sense of curiosity, independence and agenda who want to be challenged. The majority of our students come from undergraduate studies in architecture, but this is not essential and we enjoy a diverse community of students. We also strongly encourage a minimum of one years work experience (in a related field) before entering into Masters studies.
You should have achieved a high quality first degree in architecture (RIBA Part I) or an international equivalent degree or higher and should have at least one years work experience in a design office. Alternative undergraduate qualifications will be considered based on portfolio and personal statement.
