After several months of preparations and consultations, our MArch (RIBA Part II) course has become fully compatible with the ERASMUS + program. Most UK schools offer the exchange program usually to 2nd year BArch students, but at Lincoln the MArch students will have an extra option – an opportunity to study abroad during the second semester of year 4, which they can spend in one of our Partner Institutions in Spain, Germany or Poland while achieving the ARB/RIBA accreditation. All across Europe, most Higher Education institutions benefit from the Erasmus Exchange programs and many aim for having as many as 20% of all students being on an Erasmus exchange. In the UK, those statistics are unfortunately much lower. This is a great pity, because all research provides evidence of the great benefits arising from exchange programs for students and staff. Research shows that students who have had a chance to participate in the exchange programs benefit greatly from a well-rounded and an overall better educational experience. We are therefore extremely happy that our school can go one step further and offer the Erasmus exchange program also on the MArch course.
