Architecture/Architecture (International) (RIBA Part 2) Master of

Successful completion of this RIBA validated course provides an exemption from Part 2 of the ARB prescribed Examination in Architecture. As part of the process of becoming a professionally qualified Architect in the UK, graduates are required to complete a period of supervised €˜practical training, 12 months of which (commonly referred to as the €˜Year Out) is normally undertaken before commencing full-time academic study at Masters level. This period of practical training constitutes Year 1 of the University of Huddersfield MArch course. Therefore, students who have not previously completed a satisfactory period of practical training should join the course in Year 1. Students who have already completed a satisfactory period of practical training should apply to join the course in Year 2. Years 2 and Year 3 of the course are design-centered and intended to enable you to explore issues of critical regionalism, tectonic expression, and socio-spatial change in relation to establishing your own theoretical position, through which you will be expected to develop a high degree of sensitivity to the contexts and transformations within which design work is undertaken in geographical, cultural, social and technical terms.

Direct Entry to year 2: Entrants should have obtained a good first degree in Architecture, preferably with RIBA Part 1 exemption, or equivalent, and should have completed a satisfactory period of professional training. Direct entry to the final year of the course will only be considered in exceptional circumstances.
