Embark on a research journey with the Architecture MPhil or PhD at Queen's University Belfast, an opportunity to make an original contribution to this vital discipline. You will join an accomplished academic environment where each lecturer pursues unique research interests, fostering a diverse and lively atmosphere. This postgraduate research degree is designed for those passionate about exploring the complex contexts of architecture, urbanism, sustainability, and heritage in an increasingly globalised world. You will benefit from the cross-disciplinary research within the School of Natural and Built Environment, connecting with renowned academics and engaging in stimulating discourse.
This research degree is studied full-time on campus over two years for the MPhil or three years for the PhD. You will work closely with your chosen supervisor, delving into cultural, historic, and technological contexts both in Ireland and globally, or pursuing practice-based research to redefine design boundaries. Collaborating with international universities and organisations, including TU Delft and MIT, you will gain invaluable experience. You will graduate with the ability to critically analyse and contribute to urban, suburban, and rural landscapes, prepared for academic careers or advanced roles in architectural practice and research.
