About Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part 2), MArch - at Kingston University London

Accredited by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), this course is designed to set you on a path for a successful career. Our course design employs a ground-breaking narrative structure and was commended on a series of counts by the Revalidation Panel in 2022.

You will learn from a diverse team of distinguished practitioners and academics. Design is taught through a unit system, with each unit led by prominent architects. While deeply grounded in architectural tradition, our units offer a variety of innovative and distinctive approaches. Notably, Unit 5 focuses on live community projects, involving full-scale building and making, while Unit 6 is home to Europe’s only Contemporary Classical Unit.

This course centres on the practice and theory, techniques and contexts of architectural design. It includes live making projects and engagement with practice and research. You will deepen and consolidate the knowledge, understanding and skills acquired during your first degree. Then a dissertation will give you the chance to investigate an area of interest in depth.

As part of the Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part 2) MArch course, you’ll study themes such as anthropology, identity, memory and place. Other themes include care and repair, adaptive reuse, urban and ecological regeneration, and urgent societal concerns like housing provision and the exploration of new materials. This range of perspectives will help you to decide your chosen specialist area and pursue a career that matches your interests.
