professional accreditation
Our integrated MArch Architecture degree (K100) is fully recognised by ARB (Architects Registration Board) and the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects).
K100 K103
Architecture at Dundee primarily aims to educate resourceful and adaptable architects who are able to respond creatively and responsibly to the demands of a complex and changing profession. We achieve by providing a supportive learning environment which fosters a spirit of independent enquiry and individual enterprise. This will be enriched by on-going research, all of which will give the students an understanding of the theory and purpose of the best design practice and the self-confidence to participate in it.
At various stages in the 5 year programme students are offered the opportunity to take part in study visits organised as an integrated part of the course work.
Recent study visits have included a Level 2 trip to Holland, a Level 3 study visit to Krakow, Poland and a Level 4 study visit to Berlin, Germany.
We have an established student society ADAS (Association of Dundee Architectural Students) which is organised solely by the students and organises an extensive series of visiting lecturers from throughout the world.
employability
Graduates and students of Dundee have traditionally had an excellent reputation within the profession for being valuable and respected members of top practices in the UK and throughout the world.
For those wishing to qualify as architects the minimum period of study is 5 years in a ARB/RIBA recognised institution and also a minimum of 24 months practical training in practice, most commonly in an architect’s practice. Please visit the programme webpage for more information about programme progression.
Dundee has in recent years offered students an option to use the summer vacation period to gain a minimum of 3 months practical training in practice to count towards the first 12 months training for the RIBA professional requirements. At this stage students can also take the opportunity to gain experience in practices not just in the UK but also abroad.
teaching and assessment
The aims and objectives of the MArch programme are pursued through personal and group investigative study, dissertation, specific subject area related design project work, integrated design, individually appointed design thesis, supported by study visits, seminars, tutorials and inter-disciplinary teaching based on a unit system.
Each week one studio day is given over to tutorial groups working on their assigned design projects on a one-to-one or small group basis; in parallel a second tutorial day is programmed as an exploratory workshop which examines studio work from a different perspective.
