ARB UCL MEng in Architectural Design 2026 student move onto MEng with DipArch 2027
I'm proper keen to find out a bit more about how the UCL MEng Engineering and Architectural Design (EAD) is set to change into the MEng Diploma in Architecture (DipArch) come September 2027 (if approved by ARB). Especially given that the ARB will stop prescribing all Part 1 qualifications after December 2027, and they're now vetting all university applications for new accreditation ( https://arb.org.uk/information-for-schools-of-architecture/applications-for-accreditation-of-qualifications/ ).
Any chance you've got some advice or info for a prospective student kicking off in September 2026? And just wondering, will UCL let the 2026 starters (the original ARB Part 1 MEng EAD crew) move onto the new (ARB Part 2) MEng with DipArch from year 2 in September 2027?
I'd be dead grateful for your thoughts on this, ta very much.

Yeah, mate, I did pop along to a few open days in 2025, y'know – checked out Cambridge, Loughborough, Leeds, UCL and Sheffield. The Loughborough chat was proper bureaucratic and useless, to be fair, but the ones at Leeds, UCL, and Sheffield were proper banging. They reckoned for us lot starting in 2026, we'd have the chance to switch over to this new combined Masters once it kicks in after ARB approval in 2027, so I'm hoping other unis might do the same, innit. Cambridge's even letting the 2025 and 2026 students hop onto that integrated Masters course, like the MArch MDes, once it's signed off in September 2027.
Leeds, UCL, and Cambridge have got these wicked Architecture + Engineering courses with triple inter-disciplinary training and proper accreditation. My teachers were dead keen on me scoping them out and factoring 'em in for those future hurdles.
