MARCH ARCHITECTURE
This course is research-based with design studio as the core activity and the focus of investigative and creative endeavour. Principal themes of the course are integrated sustainability and post-industrial urbanism. These are studied with particular focus on the city and region within a European context with reference to global imperatives.
The course operates design units with different areas of focus that provide programme choice and the opportunity for specialised studies, and a pluralist approach to design. Through the selection of design units and programme, students are encouraged to develop personal interests and an individual approach to architecture.
You will have access to an excellent learning environment which includes new multimedia studios equipped with drawing boards, computers and model-making facilities, a state-oft-the-art library and IT suites and specialist workshops.

The total cost of a Part-time course is determined by the number of modules you take in an academic year. Modules are made up of credit-points, and Part-time fees are typically quoted as fee-per-credit-point.
To calculate the typical cost of study: Fee-per-credit-point (e.g £16.67) x credit-points per module (e.g20) = module cost of £333.4. If you study 4 modules in a year the cost would be £1333.6 for that year.
A scholarship of £1,500 is offered to all new full-time overseas fee paying students joining the first year of a course in 2012-13.
