MSc Architectural and Urban Design: University of Edinburgh

About the programme

This programme has strong thematic, creative and theoretical directions, but offers scope for participants to develop their own architectural interests and passions. Each year of the programme focuses on one European city. The wider theoretical concerns of the programme are tested and elaborated through intensive periods of field study in the selected city. Each year's study is also guided by an over-arching theme - such as 'island territories'', 'borderlands', 'field+work', 'post socialist city and its material prehistories' and 'spatial dialectics of a global place'. These themes offer a general framework for the theoretical study, the urban fieldwork and design work. The programme has a strong collaborative and inter-disciplinary ethos.
