24 months full time
Fees
Please note that undergraduate fees apply for this programme.
Students who began their professional studies on an ARB/RIBA accredited Part I course in the UK prior to 2012 will remain eligible for tuition fees at the old, lower rate of £3,465.00, rather than at the new higher rate. To be eligible for the lower rate the gap between taking Part I and Part II must not exceed three years.
This applies to both Newcastle graduates and applicants from other UK institutions. Please contact the School if you have any questions about fees.
Programme Overview

Through our Erasmus and international exchange programmes there are also opportunities to study abroad.
The MArch also offers accelerated routes onto our:
