About Architecture in Robert Gordon University
The BSc Architecture/Master of Architecture (MArch) course is a linked award that allows you to progress from Year 1 to master's level continuously and obtain a clear pathway to professional registration.
The first three years provide you with a foundation in terms of knowledge and skills in architecture. The course has three primary components that form its backbone:
- Architectural Design Studio
- Architectural History and Design Philosophy
- Technology: Construction, Structural Design, and Environmental Design.
The final two years offers opportunity for you to develop personal interests around three thematically distinct ‘Units’ with interests in City, Place and Context. This focus is not exclusive and you will also have the opportunity to work in less familiar contexts which exposes you other challenges.
