Overview
Research is central to the study of architecture within the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA).
All of our research students from Architecture programme offered by The University of Edinburgh benefit from ECA’s interdisciplinary approach and all are assigned two research supervisors. Your second supervisor may be from another discipline within ECA, or from somewhere else within the College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences or elsewhere within the University, according to the expertise required. On occasion more than two supervisors will be assigned, particularly where the degree brings together multiple disciplines.
Research culture
The research culture is supported by seminar and public lecture programmes, and discussion groups.
Research training
Students are required to take a course (or courses) in research training during their degree at the University. This may take the form of a semester-long course offered within the Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) at the University, consisting of workshops on research methodologies designed for students working in art, architecture, and allied disciplines.
