• Course description
  Introduction
  
  This MA facilitates the development of previously acquired architectural/urban design skills with participants taking them to a higher academic level. It provides an opportunity for students both from within and outside the university to convert their academic achievements achieved during a five year architecture course to a higher level of proven skill.
  
  The programme of work enables the achievement of a higher level of academic excellence in one field – Architecture and Urban Design. The delivery of the programme is in the form of structured and regular individual tutoring of agreed drawn project work and a written and illustrated Report of 5,000 – 7,500 words. The focus of study and particular method of delivery is selected following consultation with each student, in accordance with the specific area of expertise which he or she has developed during the prerequisite architecture/urban design course. The experience offered to the student is therefore to clearly focus their desired area of expertise, in order to produce structured work of a demonstrably higher level than their previous achievements.
