Electives are specialised courses that extend the range of Core Studies and offer students a means of integrating self-selected knowledge as part of their individual development. They provide a means of engaging with the cultural and scientific discourses of architecture in new ways, and a broad base of knowledge from which a developed understanding of interdisciplinarity is gained. Diploma Programme (MArch) students may exchange one History and Theory Studies (HTS) and one Environmental and Technical Studies (ETS) course for any of the listed Electives across their two years of study, with the exception of the ETS Design Thesis. More than two Electives may be taken, but only in addition to required coursework.
