Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Summary
**This MPhil/PhD programme is aimed at practitioners of architecture and other related spatial practices who would like to develop a sustained multi-year practice-led research project.**
- It allows you to produce intensive, rigorous, and scholarly research as well as further elaborate your own practice.
- The programme is structured around an annual series of two-day long seminars, which take place each month during the Autumn, Winter, and Spring terms.
- The seminars are organised as a Roundtable discussion of student research projects as they progress each year. Each of the Roundtable seminars is supplemented by invited guests who bring relevant scholarly knowledge or practices into the Centre. Student and guest presentations, along with assigned readings, provide the common conceptual ground for discussion of work and ideas.
| Study type | Research |
|---|---|
| Level | RQF Level 8 |
| Entry requirements | You should normally have (or expect to be awarded) a taught Masters in a relevant subject area or equivalent. You might also be considered if you aren’t a graduate or your degree is in an unrelated field, but have relevant experience and can show that you have the ability to work at postgraduate level. If English isn’t your first language, you will need an IELTS score (or equivalent English language qualification) of 6.5 with a 6.5 in writing and no element lower than 6.0 to study this programme. |

MA
Summary
**The MA Research Architecture is for graduates from a range of disciplines who want to examine how architecture can engage with questions of contemporary culture, politics, media, ecology and justice and question whether spatial practice can become a form of research.**
**Why study MA Research Architecture at Goldsmiths**
- You’ll join a group of students and practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and disciplines and have the opportunity to work collaboratively and benefit from peer-to-peer learning under the guidance of a tutor.
- You’ll combine studio work with theoretical research in either the Research Architecture (RA) or Forensic Architecture (FA) studio stream of the MA.
- Lectures, seminars, and workshops will equip you with grounding in critical spatial practices and related areas of inquiry.
- The theoretical module provides thorough coverage of the historical, philosophical and technological aspects of the intersection of space, power, and conflict in light of changing geopolitical conditions.
- There are several workshops on the programme. These day-long participatory events are led by invited guest speakers with specific expertise in the field.
- In general, Research Architecture students develop their own approach and conceptual frameworks, whereas Forensic Architecture students tend to work more directly with the methods developed by the Agency. If you are interested in investigating a condition than the RA studio might be more appropriate, whereas if you wish to research a specific incident or singular event than the FA studio is a good choice.
- Decisions as to which studio stream you will follow take place in week 5.
- For those who choose the Forensic Architecture studio you will be able to work with the Forensic Architecture team through a placement.
- Graduates of the MA will be well-suited for doctoral research or able to pursue a career in the areas of architecture, design, journalism, law, filmmaking, art and curating to name a few.
| Study type | Taught |
|---|---|
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
| Entry requirements | Places on the MA in Research Architecture are very competitive. They are not limited to graduates of architecture, but open to a range of other disciplines provided that you have, or expect to gain, an undergraduate degree of at least second class standard or equivalent. A good portfolio of practical and/or scholarly work, as well as experience in conducting research and a demonstrable interest in critical spatial practices, are essential. Your portfolio should be uploaded with your application. If English isn’t your first language, you will need an IELTS score (or equivalent English language qualification) of 6.5 with a 6.5 in writing and no element lower than 6.0 to study this programme. |
