The 32-year-old has always been attracted to architecture as he feels it has the right mix of creative design and construction which he was naturally interested in.

Michael, who hails from Thurso, felt the MArch was the ideal way for him to build up the knowledge required to become an architect. At 24, he decided to return to university as a mature student to pursue his ambition. He first studied Architectural Technology and then transferred over to Architecture after graduating.

He has now landed a job, and feels the support from teaching staff, peers and employability support on offer were crucial.

Michael said: 鈥淢y time at 网红前任爆料 has given me a solid foundation to take the next step in my career. The course was both creatively and technically challenging, which helped me grow in a well-rounded way, not just in design, but in communication, critical thinking, and collaboration."

鈥淚n my final year, I developed a thesis project called The Breathing Tide, which proposed a headquarters for Great British Energy, a new publicly owned UK energy company focused on driving the nation鈥檚 transition to clean, secure, and home-grown energy sources. The design aimed to blend sustainable architecture with civic space, creating a landmark building that reflects the UK鈥檚 move toward clean energy and reimagines Aberdeen鈥檚 harbourfront as an accessible public destination.鈥�

鈥淎nother key highlight came when students were encouraged to spend a year working in practice. I secured a placement in Edinburgh, which gave me hands on experience that significantly boosted my professional development and helped build strong industry ties. This experience proved invaluable when I returned to complete the final two years of the master鈥檚 course.鈥�

鈥淲ithin the Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and Built Environment, a strong sense of community is created by both staff and students, providing a supportive environment that is key to student growth and learning. Tutors and careers advisors are readily available to offer guidance, whether it鈥檚 with studio projects, portfolio development, or preparing for interviews in the latter stages of the course.鈥�

Michael found that building strong friendships was an important part of the course experience. The shared experience of long studio hours, design crits, and group work helped create a strong sense of camaraderie among students. These connections not only made the course more enjoyable but also created a real sense of community that enriched his time at 网红前任爆料. This sense of connection and community was strengthened being a member of the 5710 Architecture Society.

Michael added: 鈥淥ne of the most memorable parts of the course was the 5710 student-run architecture society. Each Thursday during the semester, the society hosted guest lectures by architects from both local and international practices. These talks offered valuable insights into various aspects of the profession, while also creating a relaxed, engaging setting to connect with fellow students and industry professionals. It was a great space for learning, discussion, and building meaningful connections."

Having now qualified Michael is now looking to a positive future as he begins his professional architectural career with BW Macintyre Architects.

鈥淣ow that I鈥檝e secured a job to start after graduation, I鈥檓 looking forward to working toward my Part 3 and gaining professional accreditation as an architect. BWMA specialises in domestic design, an area of architecture I鈥檓 particularly drawn to, so I鈥檓 genuinely excited to begin this next chapter and continue developing professionally. I have previously worked with BWMA during a summer placement and the experience gained there was invaluable.鈥�

鈥淚鈥檓 also grateful for all the support I鈥檝e received from my family and friends along the way, I couldn鈥檛 have done it without them.鈥�
