The Board at its meeting of 16 February 2017 decided that Northumbria University’s Master of Architecture should continue to be prescribed for the period from 1 June 2017 until 1 June 2021 under section 4(1)(a) of the Architects Act 1997 for the purposes of entry onto the United Kingdom Register of Architects.
The period of prescription shall commence on 1 June 2017 (and expire on 1 June 2021).
Prescription of the qualification shall be by reference to the programme specification, submitted with the application of 1 August 2016, for Northumbria University’s Master of Architecture (2 years, full-time; 3 years, part-time; 3.5 years, apprenticeship). No change may be made to the title of any course or qualification or substantial change to the content so defined within that programme specification (allowing for a normal course development) without first obtaining the written permission of the Board.
