This internationally renowned course asks how history can transform the ways we think about architecture. It approaches architecture not just as isolated buildings or designs, but as dynamic agents shaped by — and shaping in turn — the societies around them. Attentive to ideas, debates, cultural and political contexts, it investigates the many stories architecture tells.
The normal minimum qualifications are a second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Consideration will also be given if the qualification is a degree of lower than second-class Honours standard, or an equivalent overseas qualification, in a subject appropriate to the programme, plus extensive background and experience in the field. The latter implies considerable experience as a professional at a senior level. For applicants without a first degree or full professional membership, but with relevant and substantial work experience in the field, a special qualifying examination may be set. Details of this route can be obtained from the Bartlett's Faculty Office.
