Dear
All,
Just a
quick reminder that we are now accepting applications for 2013 entry to the
Graduate Fellowships in Sustainable Architecture and Urbanism, carrying an MA
in Sustainable Urbanism validated by the University of Wales. The deadline for applications for this year’s
programme is Friday 10th May 2013.
We
believe that that comprehensive and practical action is needed to train the
next generation of architects and designers to evolve traditional approaches to
planning and design in response to our contemporary crisis. This is where our
MA in Sustainable Urbanism comes in.
The
first year of our course includes a weekly Masterclass led by experts from our
own staff and around the world. Meanwhile our students are placed in one of our
departments for 3 days a week, learning alongside experienced professionals. We
give students one day each week for reading, in our own specialist library or
at the British Library and other research libraries in London. At the same
time, our students work on set essays (in the first and second term) and a
research project on an aspect of sustainable urbanism, broadly considered,
while participating in regular group tutorials. At the end of the year, we ask
our students to present their research as a first year seminar for teaching
staff and students.
In the
second year, we help our students find a placement of their choice four days a
week, while writing a dissertation on an aspect of sustainable urbanism of
their choice. So far, students have managed to secure a wage of £16-22,000 per
annum while they are on placement.
The closing date is Friday 10th May 2013, but we interview on a rolling basis, so do get your application
in early. We interview either by telephone or you may wish to come to the
Foundation in London.
Fees:
£6,250 per annum.
We can
sometimes offer bursaries to help with costs. If you wish to apply, please let
us know at the time of application. Applications will be means tested

This degree is validated and awarded by
