Master of Architecture

Join a new generation of architects with our Master of Architecture (MArch) course.
Continue your architectural studies on this postgraduate programme, the second stage in becoming a qualified architect in the UK.
We aim to equip you with the skills of a twenty-first century architect: one who utilises space through quality design, innovates responsibly within a world of finite resources, and shapes environments to leave a positive legacy for future generations.
At the Reading School of Architecture, we study architecture in a UK professional context, but with a global outlook. You will examine architecture's role within a rapdily urbanising world — and through a cultural, social and environmental lens — where new approaches are needed.
Through research themes, project sites, case studies and practices from around the world, we aim to support your development as a rounded, creative, progressive architect with international relevance.
Our School sits within the renowned School of the Built Environment, which has strong industry links and is ranked 3rd in the UK for research impact in Architecture, Built Environment and Planning (Times Higher Education Institutions Ranked by Subject, 2014, based on its analysis of Research Excellence Framework 2014).
