UCA's two-year Master of Architecture (MArch) course is the next step to becoming an architect and will challenge you to design the spaces and buildings of the future and to consider their societal and environmental impacts.
Take the official pathway
This course has full and unconditional prescription from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB) as satisfying the Part 2 criteria.
Produce the goods
By the end of your studies, you will be able to initiate and deliver projects grounded in design-based research, and continue a process of learning through practice-based experimentation and enquiry.
See the future
You’ll be challenged to design the spaces and buildings of the future and to consider their societal and environmental impacts. Reflecting the profession’s evolving role, its responsibilities within wider society, and the need for more sustainable professional practice, this course will challenge you to consolidate your architectural experiences, both in education and in practice, while simultaneously questioning your preconceptions of the discipline.

Architects’ Registration Board (ARB)
The ARB is an independent professional regulator, accountable to government. It ensures only those who are suitably competent are allowed to practice as architects.
What you'll study
The content of the course may be subject to change. Curriculum content is provided as a guide.
In year one, you'll undertake a number of tutor-led studio design projects. Lecture and seminar series are interwoven with studio design projects and inform their content.
Design Research 01 (30 credits)
This studio unit establishes your research by design agenda and introduces the thematic framework for the year. You will investigate clearly defined contexts (physical, cultural, ecological and regulatory), using critical readings, precedent analysis, site/workplace observation and material exploration. Outputs focus on analytical and speculative design studies that test ideas at multiple scales, from urban grain to spatial prototype. Emphasis is placed on methods (how you research), positionality (why this matters), and communication (how you evidence claims), building a foundation for integrated design decision making in subsequent units.
Dissertation (option 1 or 2) (30 credits)
You will select one of two routes to develop an advanced, original argument that underpins your design practice. Option 1 is a written dissertation that frames a research question, situates it within relevant literature and precedents, and contributes a defensible conclusion. Option 2 is a practice led critical study combining a curated body of design work (e.g. prototypes, mappings, models) with a substantial, rigorously referenced critical commentary. Both routes consolidate research methods, ethics and academic writing standards, and both are designed to feed into Design Research 02 and your Thesis in Year 2.
Design Research 02 (30 credits)
Building directly on Design Research 01 and your dissertation inquiry, this unit advances a comprehensive architectural proposition. You will iterate strategic and spatial responses from brief through concept to resolved scheme, demonstrating synthesis of social, cultural and environmental agendas with structure, construction and life safety considerations. Particular focus is placed on measurable environmental performance and whole life impact, as well as accessibility and user experience. The portfolio evidences design intent, testing and reflection across multiple media and scales, preparing you for Thesis 01.
Design Technology (30 credits)
This technical integration unit deepens your capability to translate ideas into buildable, performative architectures. Through seminars, workshops and applied studies you will address building physics, environmental systems, structures, materials and construction approaches, fire and life safety, and regulatory frameworks. You will produce coordinated technical outputs (such as drawings, specifications, simulations and prototypes), that demonstrate informed decision making, evaluation of alternatives and clear communication to professional audiences. Work from this unit supports the detailed resolution of your studio projects and builds toward Year 2 thesis realisation.
In year two, you'll develop your own research agendas, drawing heavily upon the issues and methodologies introduced in year one.
Thesis 01 (30 credits)
Thesis 01 establishes your personal design research trajectory and brief. You will articulate a position, define scope and methodologies, and synthesise contextual, cultural and environmental analysis into a compelling project strategy. Activities typically include precedent and policy review, stakeholder and user mapping, site/territory diagnostics, programme testing and early spatial/technical prototyping. The unit culminates in a robust thesis proposition with clear criteria for evaluation and a plan for delivery in Thesis 02 and Realisation.
Future Practice (30 credits)
Future Practice develops your professional readiness and ethical leadership. You will examine procurement, contracts and project delivery; planning and building control; risk, cost and programme management; collaborative and interdisciplinary working; IP and entrepreneurship; and equality, diversity and inclusion. You will reflect on the architect’s responsibilities to clients, communities and society, and explore emerging modes of practice (e.g. research led, social enterprise, digital/hybrid). Assessment typically includes a practice strategy, case study analysis and professional reflection aligned with PEDR style expectations.
Thesis 02 (30 credits)
This unit develops your thesis into a fully articulated architectural project. You will demonstrate design leadership through iterative testing and resolution across scales, from urban strategy to detailed spatial systems; integrating environmental performance, structural logic, buildability and user experience. You will engage with relevant stakeholders and critically evidence the impacts and consequences of your design decisions. The outcome is a coherent portfolio that communicates concept, development, evaluation and proposition to professional and public audiences.
Realisation (30 credits)
Realisation focuses on translation from design intent to deliverable architecture. You will produce coordinated information suitable for practice contexts, such as GA drawings and sections, key details, outline specifications/schedules, compliance strategies (planning, building regulations, fire and inclusive design), programme and risk considerations, and a plan for post occupancy evaluation. Where appropriate, you will fabricate and test prototypes or mock ups to validate performance and assembly. The unit consolidates professional communication, technical judgement and accountability, evidencing that your thesis design is both beautiful and realisable.
