Computational Methods in Architecture (MSc)

In order to be considered for an offer for this programme you will need to meet all of the entry requirements. Your application will not be progressed if the information and evidence listed is not provided.

With your online application you will need to provide:

1. A copy of your degree certificate and transcripts which show you have achieved a 2:1 honours degree in a relevant subject area such as architecture, computer science, engineering, interior design, landscape architecture, or urban design, or an equivalent international degree. If your degree certificate or result is pending, please upload any interim transcripts or provisional certificates.
2. A copy of your IELTS certificate with an overall score of 6.5 with 5.5 in all subskills, or evidence of an accepted equivalent. Please include the date of your expected test if this qualification is pending. If you have alternative acceptable evidence, such as an undergraduate degree studied in the UK, please supply this in place of an IELTS.

If you do not have a degree in a relevant area, or your final degree classification is below a 2:1, your application may be considered on the basis of your professional experience and evidence of your previous computational experience. Please provide additional evidence to support your application such as an employer reference. References should include information regarding how the referee knows you and for how long as well as their assessment of your skills, experience, and suitability for this programme. References should be signed, dated and no more than six months old at the time you submit your application.
