It offers and intensive training in the forces acting on building, and the specific skills of being an architect. Project based it centres on contemporary issues of urban building, the work ranging from live projects and sponsored research to competitions and theoretical studies.

This year’s Stage 5 students have responded to the theme of The Ethical City, with many students this year taking as their case study the city of Porto. Community empowerment is a key theme that many students have drawn on when looking at ethical methods of revitalising urban spaces, along with sustainable and restorative building practices and conscientious approaches to material.
