Live Chat – Applying to Architecture

Join us at our Information Hall via Chatroll for live chat and Q+A with Kirsty Lees from the MSA on applying to the Mackintosh School of Architecture.

The MSA or ‘the Mac’ as it is affectionately known, is one of five specialist schools at the GSA.

The MSA’s Bachelor of Architecture programme leads to an Ordinary or Honours degree and to exemption from Part 1 of the Examination in Architecture of the ARB/ RIBA at the end of Year 3 full-time study or Year 4 part-time study. The full-time mode takes a minimum of three years for the Ordinary degree and four years for the Honours degree. Full-time students normally undertake a year of practical training in an approved architect’s office between Years 3 and 4. First year students have the opportunity to work with students from across the range of disciplines delivered at GSA through two collaborative courses.
