Program Summary

Program Description

MArch Architecture (ARB / RIBA Part 2) is a two-year full-time course that produces graduate architects who are fully equipped for a career in the architectural profession. It is designed to be the next step for professionals pursuing an accredited pathway to becoming a registered architect.

Fully accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and prescribed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) for the purpose of entry onto the UK Register of Architects, this course satisfies the educational requirements for RIBA Part 2 before moving on to practical experience and Part 3 qualification.

With a focus on educating students with a global outlook, Nottingham Trent University has set collaborative, industry-facing projects set in local, national, and international contexts. The course framework enables students to advance their ability to research, analyse, self-appraise, think critically, work in a team and provide constructive feedback. With core legal, management and design leadership skills built into the course content, students will develop high-level skills needed for advanced industry practice.

Nottingham Trent University's MArch Architecture course content is focused on four core strands: developing design and communication skills; extending student awareness and knowledge of the theory and socio-economic, historic and cultural factors affecting architectural design; advancing student appreciation of technology and construction methods; and developing student knowledge of management, practise and law.

Together, this framework will build upon the skills and knowledge students have already gained, extending their ability to research, analyse, self-appraise, think critically, work in a team and provide constructive feedback.
