About Architecture March in Ulster University

The Master in Architecture is delivered as an inter-linked series of studio projects and related studies that lead the student towards their final year design thesis. The design projects run on a Vertical Studio structure across both years, known as the SuperStudio. The Vertical Studio approach is one in which all students are taught together across all year groups in distinctly themed Studios. The resulting cross-cohort model replicates the dynamics, opportunities and challenges inherent in architectural practice.

The MArch explores architecture that responds to the complex and changing context of architecture and urbanism and the transformations taking place in current society.

The course team of academics, historians, practitioners, advisors, artists and researchers are committed to understanding and documenting our existing built heritage while proposing imaginative and alternative futures in both the urban and rural context that are socially and ecologically responsible.

An important part of this is to address the wider issues facing the profession and in providing a forum to investigate, challenge preconceptions, explore and fully engage the role of the architect in society.
