The Architecture MA offers a unique opportunity for graduates interested in the intersection of architectural design, theory and research, encouraging students to develop their own positions and identities as creative practitioners and thinkers. A range of thematic and contextual concerns are offered and explored through the course using unconventional and imaginative methods of design, research and representation. These include cultural identity, architecture and society, political architecture, contested landscapes and digital design. These diverse fields of inquiry and their impact on our cities are underpinned by integrating ‘other’ voices such as post-colonialism, critical theory, feminist theory and race studies. The course promotes methodological and representational innovation, with participants using techniques such as social mapping, interactive installations, film and conceptual modelling to stimulate projects towards high-levels of spatial, material and formal resolution. A distinct and unique feature of the Architecture MA is its use of specialist pathways, namely Cultural Identity and Globalisation, Digital Media, and History and Theory. Students can elect to choose one of these routes through the programme, all of which incorporate option modules – graduating with the related named specialisation award, or else select their own combination of modules in order to graduate with the title Architecture MA. No matter how participants navigate their way through the course, it will inevitably be a dynamic journey of self-reflection and positioning to affirm interests and future practice concerns.The Architecture MA is intended to appeal to students and practitioners with an existing architectural degree qualification like BA, BSc, BArch, Dip Arch, March, or in related cognate design disciplines who wish to continue an advanced level of research with a strong design and theoretical output.Graduates from the Architecture MA have had a high level of success in securing employment with architectural practices in the UK and overseas or have gone on to launch their own architecturedesign practices. Many continue on to further study (including PhD level) or to teach in schools of architecture. Whatever their destination after completing their studies, our graduates emerge with a strong sense of purpose and with a body of work that enhances their ability to access those parts of practice they are most interested in. The Architecture MA course offers the following two awards each year:Jila Golzari Award – for a student with outstanding academic achievement, Weston Williamson & Partners (WWP) – for a project with innovative ideas, design or theory, for inclusive cities .Careers: The Architecture MA aims to further the education of design graduates who will find employment in architectural practice or related disciplines. Our graduates have worked in architectural practices in the UK and overseas, with some having set up their own practice and others picking up academic teaching posts.The specialist pathway options offered are intended to provide students with further employability skills related to traditional architectural design, urban design and multidisciplinary practices. Our graduates have been the lead architectural experts on multidisciplinary teams, NGO’s municipalities or government organisations in regeneration and reconstruction work as specialists in the field of urban design, urban renewal strategies and historical conservation, or experts in digital media, webmedia, graphics, creative design practice including exhibition designcuratorship. The Architecture MA may also form a platform for continuing study with a career in academia or a specialist research subject. The course can prepare suitable applicants for the opportunity to study for MArch (RIBA Part 2) or a DoctoratePhD degree Research by DesignResearch by Practice.
