Welcome to the School of Architecture

Considering direct entry to the course at Part 2? Please see our prospective students pages for more information.

It is with great sadness that we report the death of one of our ex colleagues and once head of school, Professor James Paul. Our thoughts go out to his widow and family. He was a 'godlike' presence within the school (which his practice designed) and was held in high regard by colleagues and students alike. Read a short obituary here from the Dundee Courier, we hope to carry a fuller story once we have had chance to speak to his sons.

On a happier note ... The Dean of the School of Architecture, Graeme Hutton, and LJRH Chartered Architects have won an RIBA Award and Scottish Design Award for the design of an innovative house in Perthshire, see news snippets on Building Design web site and Scotsman Newspaper web site.

Dundee School of Architecture offers an integrated M.Arch degree pathway that is professionally recognised through Prescription of Qualification by the Architects Registration Board (ARB). This entitles the successful M.Arch graduate exemption from both Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Part1 and RIBA Part2 professional examinations in architecture. The final year of the 5 year course is an independently run thesis year in which the students develop projects with their own agendas and aims and objectives within a unit structure, and is accordingly, granted an M Arch. M Arch includes units on urbanism, place-making, sustainability, and the like, within which the students do self directed design research projects. The school has a developing postgraduate culture and offers MSc courses in Advanced Sustainability and Practice Management all underpinned with first class facilities.

This is the revamped school website which aligns us with the overall University of Dundee 'house style'. The site is not complete as yet but contains the most important information for potential applicants at this stage.

It is our intention to enrich the site with examples of student work and exhibitions in due course.

We trust you will find the information here useful and we thank you for visiting our website.
