Aims of the course
The MA AID builds on the established strengths of the Department in two
major disciplines. It is a design-based and research-orientated
course that allows the students to focus on both their individual
skills and achieve excellence at the same time.
The course addresses the needs of graduates from architectural and
spatial backgrounds where traditional roles are increasingly blurred
and design skills may be needed in a variety of guises. It
emphasises generic and transferable skills in design of the built
environment, and locates the subject in this broader context to
encourage its graduates to seek and create opportunities for the
practice of their discipline.
Entry requirements
A first degree in architecture, interior design or related discipline is required.
It is open to architects and interior designers as an intense
stand-alone course or as an extension to the Professional Diploma
course.
Course structure
The course is one of a suite of design-based Masters, which focuses on
specialist approaches within the wider discipline of design. It
is a combination of design-based research and taught specialist
modules. Design projects are undertaken in a choice of postgraduate studios,
a history and theory course and a wide range of optional modules.
On this course you have the freedom to choose to submit a written or
design dissertation as your major project. Over the years, the
design dissertation has proven to be extremely popular and many
students have achieved with high levels of success. The main
subject areas are taught through a wide choice of tutors, studios and
interest groups with a strong emphasis on self-directed study and
research.
Core modules include:
• Design Research
• Design Concept & Proposition
• MA Thesis
• A choice of History and Theory Modules
• An option module chosen by the applicants
Assessment
The design and research projects are assessed via a combination of a
presented portfolio of research and design work made in response to a
detailed programme of a studio based project and a 15 000 word thesis
or equivalent there-of. This in addition to the completion of the
relevant modules each assessed accordingly.
Career Opportunities
The course provides a broad set of cultural and critical knowledge and
skills, which are useful in a wide variety of fields such as education,
publishing, librarianship, journalism, media and the arts and arts
management. It also provides a route to PhD study and thus a
career in Higher Education.
