Degree Programme Table: Architecture (MArch ARB Pt 2) (PTMARMARCH1F)


Year 1, Academic year 2011/12, Starting month: September

  • Notes: The MArch is a 2 year programme. Please note that not all of the compulsory courses are listed in the compulsory section. This is because the YEAR you take these course(s) may be flexible i.e. the course is compulsory but the year it is taken is not.

    For progression from the first to the second year of the MArch you must pass 120 credits. 240 credits are required for the award of the degree. A minimum of 100 credits must be taken in Architectural Design Studio modules. Students must pass Academic Portfolio 2 to achieve exemption from ARB/RIBA Part 2. Some Architectural Design Studio modules will be linked over two years (integrated pathway) and will therefore have prerequisites for entry.

    If you have any questions please contact the Programme Director, email architecture@ed.ac.uk FAO MArch Programme Director.

    Any deviations from the programme as outlined below must be approved in advance by the Programme Director.
