Architecture with Urban Planning RIBA Part 2 (Hons)

Overview

The MArch Architecture with Urban Planning RIBA Part 2 (Hons)  at the University of Dundee is for students who have completed their RIBA Part 1 qualification, or equivalent, at another university.

You will study the essential principles of architecture and planning to develop the knowledge to shape the future of our towns and cities. You will gain skills in design, communications, history and theory, and sustainability.

You’ll be encouraged to work in a ‘hands-on’ way developing and testing your ideas through manual and digital drawings, models and prototypes.

You’ll work in small studio groups and on a one-to-one basis with experienced tutors, who are often registered architects, providing a supportive learning environment.

You will have the opportunity to join study visits and exchanges. In recent years students have worked, studied or competed in Edinburgh, Hannover, London, Mainz, Paris, Shanghai, Sydney, Tongi, Venice, Vicenza and Wuhan.

By the time you graduate you’ll have a wide portfolio of work demonstrating the skills you'll need to work as an architect or planner in designing the successful places of the future.
