Academic IELTS of 6.5 overall with no element below 5.5
Applicants must have:
Preferably ARB/RIBA Part 1 or exemption from it, but we will consider applications without Part 1 who have undertaken non-UK or non-validated architecture degrees. Before qualifying as a UK architect, students must have obtained Part 1, as well as Part 2 and 3. Please contact the ARB regarding eligibility for their Prescribed Part 1 exam;
in most cases, not less than 40 weeks of appropriate professional experience prior to entry;
a high level of basic design skill as well as an ability to engage in a rigorous, graduate programme of study;
an understanding of architecture as both an academic subject and an ongoing practice; and
a commitment and motivation to the practice of architecture.
We will give preference to applicants who have:
2:2 or above honours degree; and
evidence of a range of experience in either architectural practice or an allied design/construction environment.
What does it take to make thoughtful work in the built environment today?
During this degree you'll think and make, and develop the technical and critical skills required to be both nimble and empowered to act in today's diverse architectural culture.
The course features a diverse range of design approaches rooted in a common ethos, and often involving 'live-build' projects, recently for the Barbican in London and Kunstmuseum, Bonn.
You'll study in our exceptional, Haworth Tompkins-designed workshops, which are open for creative exploration and offer opportunities to collaborate on projects and share ideas.
