This research-driven, studio-based post-graduate programme offers a unique opportunity to critically test architecture and spatial practice.
As part of our curriculum, we tackle pressing political, social and ecological questions, empowering you to redefine your practice and contribute to positive change in the world. Together, we'll explore global imbalances, inequalities and environmental challenges, allowing you to shape a future where architecture is pivotal in creating sustainable and meaningful spaces.
We offer a vibrant platform to discuss contemporary architectural issues, strongly focusing on real-world dynamics. Engage in inspiring tutorials, thought-provoking lectures, and hands-on workshops. Embrace reflective research to deepen your understanding and transform your approach to architecture. A teaching team of diverse practitioners will guide your studies, each offering unique perspectives and valuable industry connections.
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 year’s work experience in a design office. Alternative undergraduate qualifications will be considered based on portfolio and personal statement. You are required to submit a completed RCA MA application form, a digital portfolio of completed student projects together with any relevant supporting design material, and a brief video setting out your motivations and personal interests. If you wish to gain exemption from RIBA Part II, you must have completed their RIBA Part I satisfactorily. Design and critical thinking are prioritised in the selection of candidates.
