Kent’s Master of Architecture
(MArch) programme is a twoyear
full-time undergraduate
professional programme (known
as Stage 4 and Stage 5), focused
on architectural design. It forms
the second part of the UK’s
traditional five-year continuum
of professional undergraduate
education in architecture leading,
for graduates with the required
exemptions from professional
examinations, toward registration
in the UK as an ‘architect’.
All students within a particular
unit follow the same design
project brief. Additional lecture
and seminar modules support
design through the teaching of
technology, culture, dissertation
and employability. There is also
an opportunity to spend a term
abroad.
