Course content

The MArch at Lincoln provides students with an opportunity to consolidate their formative education and experiences in practice through the development of a deeper more critical understanding of the histories, theories, and futures of architecture and their application.

The aim 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.

This vocational programme operates within a framework that satisfies the requirements of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB).

Students may utilise laboratories and workshops to employ traditional model-making techniques, as well as digital fabrication technologies.

After successful completion of the programme, students may choose to progress to the Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Practice and Management in Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part 3) as a pathway to becoming a registered architect
