Course Overview

The MA Architecture and Adaptive Reuse at University of Manchester is a postgraduate programme designed for postgraduate students passionate about shaping the built environment. Based in Manchester, England, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 1-year full-time structure. MA Architecture and Adaptive Reuse is a programme about existing buildings, situations and places, and how over time these structures and locations can be encouraged to evolve, sustain new uses, and accommodate new users. It allows you to investigate strategies for adaptive reuse - strategies that are not applied as a reaction to current conditions, but in anticipation of future changes. Adaptation is now at the forefront of architectural practice; two of the most pressing challenges in the 21st century are climate change and urbanisation. A minimum ielts score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 88% student satisfaction rating, and 77% of graduates in employment or further study.
