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.
Students are required to submit project work at stages throughout the year which is reviewed by staff and visiting academics and professionals. Students also submit essays, reports and other course work.
By Level 5 students have reached a stage where they are encouraged to develop their own research question within a specialist unit.
This can result in independent visits by students to a variety of locations around the world. In recent years students have travelled to a variety of locations locally and internationally.
what is the best thing about your course?
At Dundee the studio culture is central to the learning experience on both an academic and social level, creating dialogue among students. The student society ‘ADAS’ organises regular lectures and social events throughout the year.
Throughout Part 1 the projects prepare you for working in a placement, from presentation skills to building regulations and in particular working as part of a large team. During my Part 1 placement year I worked for Eric Parry architects in London on a residential project at the Athletes Village for the Olympics. This gave me excellent experience working in a large team seeing the project from initial concept through to tender, then returning to the project the following summer to work on site and gain more experience of detail design.
Lewis Benmore graduated from MArch Architecture in 2011
