    About

    Overview

    How can we build a more sustainable future? What should urban regeneration look like? Can architects respond to humanitarian crises?

    From sustainable built environments, urban design, digital craft to humanitarian architecture, during the MArchD programme you will construct a substantial portfolio of design work that fulfils the requirements of ARB/RIBA Part II and LAM, and offers a design specialisation that has a transformative impact on your professional practice.

    The School of Architecture at Oxford Brookes has an international reputation for research and teaching. You’ll be guided by academics and practitioners who’ve proved themselves at some of the country’s top practices or who are leading in their fields of research. You’ll benefit from our strong links with local and national practices who regularly visit and employ our graduates.

    You’ll immerse yourself in an environment that actively encourages discourse, fosters innovation, and promotes practical experimentation, allowing you the freedom to explore and realise your design aspirations.
