The MA Architecture degree at UCA Canterbury is for designers who want to explore these ideas through a creative, critical and culturally engaged lens. This one-year architecture postgraduate degree invites you to rethink architecture not just as a profession, but as a spatial and social practice. We see architecture as a way of interpreting the world, from the structures we inhabit to the systems that shape our lives. You’ll investigate how architecture connects with ecology, identity, heritage and technology, and how design can act as both a response to, and an agent of change. This masters degree in architecture is ideal for international graduates and others who want to develop their design thinking outside of the UK’s formal architectural registration pathway. Whether you have a background in architecture or a related discipline, this course offers you a space to deepen your understanding, question assumptions and explore your own trajectory as a designer. Our architecture studios are a shared space for conversation and exchange. You’ll work alongside - and collaborate with - students from MA Interior Design and MA Product Design. This will broaden your perspective and open your mind to new possibilities for how architecture can operate in the world.
