Our BA programme at Manchester School of Architecture is a unique collaboration between the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University, enabling access to facilities at both universities. We offer a rich and diverse education experience, blending traditional architectural training with innovative approaches. We are delighted that our school maintained its 5th position in the prestigious QS World University Rankings for Architecture this year, which highlights the world's top performing universities. We were also ranked 2nd in the People and Planet University League for sustainable universities, which is reflected in our course where climate justice, sustainability and biodiversity issues are considered through all units.

We are a large school with a BA of over 650 students. This is our strength as we can offer a lot of choice in the degree, from electives in humanities which align with staff research, through MSA Live projects where students choose to collaborate with real external partners in the North West, and finally to our rich choice of ateliers, each with specific design approaches relating to varied research interests. Here BA3 students are taught by staff within vertical studios alongside postgraduate architecture and landscape architecture students. This year, we proudly launched our Foundation in Architecture course, widening access into the profession.

We would like to thank all our wonderful home and international students, staff from both institutions, visiting tutors, speakers, practices, organisations, and community groups who contribute to our school. We are grateful for your continued enthusiasm and support of our incredible academic community. We would not be MSA without you. We hope you enjoy the show.
