Studying On-site

MSc students can study each module entirely by distance, or you can choose to join us for a residential study week as part of the module. You can choose which method you prefer on a module-by-module basis. Residential visits are an essential element of our MArch: Sustainable Architecture course, so all architecture students attend these weeks.

On-site weeks at CAT typically last five or six days, and are made up of lectures, seminars, tutorial time and practical sessions. It’s a chance to pack lots of learning

“The whole experience was absolutely fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed everything, from the practical studies to the student project debates and the invaluable lectures. The enthusiasm and energy that radiated from everyone was just a total BUZZ. Suffice to say, I enjoyed it so much, I didn’t want to come home.”

CAT Student

into one week, network with fellow students, staff and guest lecturers, and really immerse yourself in studying sustainable solutions within a truly unique learning environment. Conversation flows long into the evening as staff and students debate the issues and explore solutions together. You then return home to complete study in your own time, fitting coursework around life’s other demands, and accessing learning materials via online learning platforms, just as distance learning students do.
