About the course

On this course you will

• gain an understanding of the role computation plays in complex design synthesis
• work with an international body of experts and students
• be introduced to highly advanced coding, fabrication and robotic skills, and the latest approaches to AI, CNC fabrication, 3D printing, supercomputing, simulation and interactivity
• have access to B-made, one of the most advanced fabrication workshops in Europe
• have the chance to choose your own field of enquiry from three ‘Labs’: Wonderlab led by Alisa Andrasek, BiotA Lab led by Professor Marcos Cruz and Richard Beckett, and the Interactive Architecture Lab led by Ruairi Glynn

Who should apply

We’re looking for recent graduates in architecture, as well as design professionals, who want to be part of a more speculative design environment.

Entry requirements

You’ll need at least a second-class BA or BSc from a UK university, or an overseas equivalent, or a relevant degree of a lower classification plus extensive professional experience at a senior level. Once we’ve received your application, you’ll be asked to submit a portfolio of your design work.
