Delve deeper into the history and theory of architecture with the research and thesis-based Master of Architecture (MArch). This qualification will be of interest to you if you are already working in the profession and want to utilise research to deepen your understanding of a particular aspect of architecture. Or maybe you want to build on the knowledge gained at undergraduate level.

 

What you'll learn

You'll further develop your critical thinking and discussion skills with a detailed and significant piece of research. Increase your understanding of how architectural history and theory are applied to design, so you can express your own ideas and conclusions within a robust theoretical framework.

 

Expertise through research

Choose a thesis topic that reflects your current knowledge of the intellectual, technical, aesthetic, and cultural conditions of architecture. Your research topic must have a basis in theory and be methodologically sound.

 

You'll get quality supervision and support from passionate staff with excellent reputations for teaching, research, and publishing.

 

You may be able to include media such as a drawing portfolio or video with your thesis submission. If you choose to use design as your primary research method in your thesis, it must be explained within a theoretical context.

 

Past research topics include:

• architectural and urban design processes
• sustainability in architecture
• architectural history, theory and criticism
• energy and environmental design of buildings, including sustainable design
