Architecture, Master of (MArch)

The course is intended for students who have completed their professional role-orientated education and wish to undertake speculative design-based research. Thus it is expected that applicants from the field of architecture will already possess an accredited graduate diploma or postgraduate degree in architecture (UK), a professional master’s in architecture (US), or the international equivalent.

Admission to the course will normally be open to applicants who fulfil one of the following requirements:

• hold a good approved undergraduate honours degree in architecture or in a discipline relevant to architecture
• have an appropriate professional background and experience of designing architecture or designing in a discipline that has a strong relationship or similarities to architecture
• are students in their final year of the MArchD in Architecture at Oxford Brookes University, who have demonstrated their proficiency in written and design work.

The course also welcomes applicants from other design fields such as product design, graphic design and interior design, and would expect such applicants to possess an excellent first degree.

Students will be offered places on the course only after a successful interview with the programme staff and/or the submission of a satisfactory design portfolio.
