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.
