MSA STAGE 4
Bourdon Building, 35 students
This programme is ARB/RIBA Part 2 Accredited. The programme is designed to provide the necessary educational framework for students who intend to enter the architectural profession, and confers exemption from Part 2 of the Examination in Architecture ARB/RIBA and offers an intensive training in the forces acting on building, and the specific skills of the architect. Project-based, it centres on contemporary issues of urban building, the work ranging from live projects and sponsored research to competitions and theoretical studies.
The School attracts students of all nationalities and the programme is studio-based with all students working in one space. This provides an ideal environment to share advice and ideas across the years of study.
