University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom

Course Overview

This two-year course allows you to explore architecture in a broad-based manner through theoretical and practical work. It demands a high level of design ability and self-motivation while enabling you to explore and develop projects related to your interests.

You’ll appraise current theoretical approaches to architecture and urban design, then assess and show their relevance in existing and proposed contexts. You’ll also develop and demonstrate formal and technical architectural ability.

If you obtain all diploma credits at the first sitting, you can proceed to a Master, thus converting your Diploma into a MArch. This requires an extra three months of study.
