MSc /PgDip/PgCert Advanced Architectural Design

The MSc Advanced Architectural Design degree at Robert Gordon University is a 12-month research-led course, designed to equip you to play a lead role in the future design and construction of our buildings, cities and rural communities. It will provide you with the knowledge and skills to develop innovative yet contextually appropriate solutions to challenges of major consequence and complexity. Projects are connected with industrial research and innovation the University is actively working on, meaning you will explore real-world problems in zero-carbon buildings, design for fabrication and assembly, digital and parametric design and future bound design agendas. You will gain a solid understanding on how UAVs and drones will radically change the world as we know it, and you will have the opportunity to work alongside a drone with our fully qualified pilot.

Applicants normally hold a 2:2 undergraduate honours degree or its equivalent, in one of the following subject areas: Architecture, Architectural Design, Architectural Technology, Design Management, Sustainable Building Design, Urban Design / Planning.
Applicants with a lower degree classification and / or relevant work experience will be considered on a case by case basis.
Portfolio of design work
As part of your application, you should submit a portfolio of creative and technical work developed during your undergraduate studies. This might include design or architectonic work, and/or technical resolution of a building, a structure or other artefact. The length and format of the portfolio work is up to you, however, it is best to be selective and showcase quality work rather than everything you have done. If you have worked in projects in practice, include those as well, with clear annotation on which was the area of your responsibility.
