MArch Architektur

Continue your journey to professional architecture status with the University of Salford. Designed for students with a passion for design, an appetite for ideas, and a desire to experiment, our Part 2 MArch Architecture degree offers you an engaging learning experience in an unrivalled destination.

From our location at the heart of the world’s first industrial city, and based in our studio learning environment, you will explore the architectural relationship between ecological and human systems. You’ll critically examine histories and theories in generating cultural values related to making places.

Delivered across two years, the MArch course blends theory and practice to build your capabilities to be a responsible designer, reflective practitioner, and creative innovator. The course is enriched with technical skills, knowledge exchanges, and practice-based action learning, that refine your critique and develop your confidence.

The MArch at Salford is prescribed at Part 2 Level by the UK Regulator of Architects, the Architects’ Registration Board (ARB). If you successfully complete this MArch and hold a recognised undergraduate Part 1 qualification, you can progress to complete the Part 3 Diploma - and be eligible to register as an architect and join the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).

You will:

• Enhance your knowledge of architecture design thinking to explore the relationships between ecological and human systems
• Experience an immersive and dynamic studio-based learning environment, complete with 3-D printers, laser cutters, portable workspace and digital tools and technologies to articulate an architectural position
