The Expanded Spatial Practices MA at Leeds Beckett University is designed for individuals seeking to challenge conventional boundaries in how space is understood, created, and utilised. You will engage with critical theories and interdisciplinary methodologies, drawing from architecture, art, performance, public policy, and more, to explore contemporary social, cultural, and ecological issues. This postgraduate Masters degree is ideal for those with a design background or from other disciplines who wish to expand their practice, contribute to theory- and practice-led research, and develop innovative spatial solutions.
This full-time, on-campus Masters programme, studied over 18 months, will see you develop your own spatial practice proposition through core modules such as Expanding Spatial Practice and Spatial Practice Development. You will have the opportunity to select option modules like Creative Practice or Socially Engaged Practice, tailoring the course to your interests. Throughout the degree, you will work alongside experienced academics and practitioners, honing your ability to realise and communicate high-quality projects, and collaborate effectively within multi-disciplinary teams. You will graduate with enhanced skills in critical analysis, research, and project delivery, prepared for diverse career paths in spatial design and related fields.
