The MArch at Lincoln provides students with an opportunity to consolidate their formative education and experiences in practice through the development of a deeper more critical understanding of the histories, theories, and futures of architecture and their application.
This programme utilises a range of teaching methods, which can include project-based learning, seminars, and group work. Postgraduate level study involves a significant proportion of independent study, which should ideally be used to explore the material covered in lectures and seminars.
As a general guide, for every hour spent in class, students are expected to spend at least four hours in independent study.
Students are expected to synthesize their prior education and experience in practice in order to develop a rigorous and detailed design proposal for a large scale, complex building, set within an Urban Masterplan of their own design.
Students are encouraged to develop and deliver a speculative, and critical design thesis, responding to a defined theoretical position. They are encouraged to develop new or alternative building typologies and to react to contemporary social, environmental, and ethical issues.
Contact Time
Students on this programme should expect approximately 12 hours of contact time per week. Part-time contact will vary depending on the number of cred-its taken. For more detailed information please contact the Programme Leader.
The MArch at Lincoln provides students with an opportunity to consolidate their formative education and experiences in practice through the development of a deeper more critical understanding of the histories, theories, and futures of architecture and their application.
The aim is to create a collaborative environment where students can access and can draw from multiple perspectives and architectural agendas, in order to synthesize their own approach and philosophy, allowing them to speculate meaningfully on future architectures and practices.
This vocational programme operates within a framework that satisfies the requirements of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB).
Students may utilise laboratories and workshops to employ traditional model-making techniques, as well as digital fabrication technologies.
After successful completion of the programme, students may choose to progress to the Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Practice and Management in Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part 3) as a pathway to becoming a registered architect.
