Architecture - MArch
This programme is for highly motivated students who wish to:
- Further their skills in the research-led spatial, programmatic, material, structural and environmental articulation of architectural design.
- Engage with the contemporary city and the associated flows of information, energy and resources.
- Critically position their practice in relation to contemporary theoretical discourses, modes of inquiry and representation.
- Develop situated and careful forms of architectural knowledge and production that are speculative, creative, low-carbon, regenerative, and inclusive.
The two-year Master of Architecture (MArch) programme offers a unique studio-based and research-led learning experience. You will have the opportunity to develop designs that engage with complex urban settings, innovative material systems, and critical forms of inquiry and representation, elaborating nuanced responses to the pressing environmental, socioeconomic, and political questions facing architectural practice in the 21st century.
Based in one of the most beautiful and architecturally significant cities in the world, the ARB and RIBA Part 2 validated MArch programme at the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA) combines creative inquiry and academic rigour with a deep sense of professional responsibility. We empower our students to imagine and prototype forms of spatial practice that are low-carbon, situated, inclusive and regenerative.
