MA in Architectural History

We are excited to announce our new MA in History of Architecture. The MA will be launched in October 2019 and is already taking applications for admission. Students can also apply for the Postgraduate Certificate (the core course and one option) or the Postgraduate Diploma (all elements except the dissertation.)

The MA will be located in Birkbeck’s Department of History of Art, which has a long and distinguished tradition of teaching the history of architecture dating back to Nikolaus Pevsner’s time at Birkbeck. The planning for the new MA is part of a series of initiatives in the field of architectural history, which include the rich programme of activities run by the Architecture Space and Society Centre, the appointment of Mark Crinson as Professor of Architectural History, a series of PhD workshops and public events held with the ICA, and a major international conference next year on the relation between the history of architecture and the history of design.
