The Cambridge Part 3 Course and Examination has validation from the ARB and the RIBA for graduates who have obtained RIBA/ARB Parts 1 and 2 or have confirmation of Parts 1 and 2 equivalence from the ARB. The aim of the course is to act as a forum for discussion of
certain major concerns of the profession as well as providing preparation for the examination.

Successful completion of this course qualifies you to register with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and thereafter be called an architect, and to take up corporate membership of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Thereby, it is the formal entry into the profession.

The Cambridge Part 3 Course and Examination is organised by the University of Cambridge Department of Architecture in association with ICE and runs in Cambridge in three sessions over the academic year. The course structure enables you to continue in employment while studying. The sessions cover the topics outlined in the new ARB/RIBA Criteria for Part 3 courses. We have been devising ways to make the learning process more active than the traditional talk and chalk methods and feedback from previous students has been very positive. The course and examination has validation from the ARB and the RIBA: you will be eligible to apply to both institutions for registration and membership if you complete the Postgraduate Certificate successfully.
Entry requirements
The course is open to graduates who have obtained RIBA/ARB Parts 1 and 2 or have confirmation of Parts 1 and 2 equivalence from ARB. You may register for the course in your second year of practical experience. However, to be eligible to take the Part 3 examination you must have Parts 1 and 2 and have completed at least two years practical training experience in architectural or related practice under the direct supervision of an architect registered in the EU. At least 12 months of this must be undertaken in the UK, under the direct supervision of a UK-registered architect. The experience should be approved by your Professional Studies Adviser. A minimum 12 months of the prerequisite practical training experience must be undertaken after completion of Part 2. Each period of practice must have lasted at least three months. If English is not your first language, we will need evidence of your competence in the English language before we can confirm that you have a place.

The first session in September focuses on the architects role in the construction industry, the second session in March on practice and project management and on planning law, and the third session in July concentrates on building contracts and on standard forms of contract. These topics are all interrelated so that, over the year, there are a number of overlapping lectures and seminars. A case study submission of 5,000 words is required for the examination. Examinations (consisting of two written papers) and professional interviews are held at the end of the course in September. You are required to successfully complete all elements of the course in order to be eligible for the award of Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Practice in Architecture.

This one-year part-time course offers an introduction to English Literature spanning more than 500 years, from Shakespeare to the present day. It is designed for anyone who has an enthusiasm for reading and wants to learn more about the writers and their work in relation to their period and to other writers. The course is based on the conviction that that the skill of close reading is central to the pursuit and enjoyment of literary study. It will introduce you to techniques of close reading and contextual analysis, providing a stepping stone for further study and lifelong exploration of literature.
English literature

Term 1: Close reading and context. This unit explores approaches to understanding lyric poetry and prose fiction, employing both close reading and contextualization as methods of interpretation. A range of works of lyric poetry and prose fiction, including among others, poems by W H Auden and Emily Dickinson, and fiction by Charlotte Bront, Virginia Woolf, and
Toni Morrison will serve as the subject of class reading. The questions asked in every session will be, How does the relation between form, context and meaning shape our understanding and evaluation of any literary text? Term 2: Shakespeare in his time and ours. This unit focuses on the contrast between Shakespeares work seen in the context of his own day and that of the 21st century. Key questions such as Shakespeares analysis of the
English literature
outsider in Othello and The Merchant of Venice will be discussed, as will changing attitudes to comedy and history. There will be a chance to compare Shakespeare in the theatre and on screen. Other plays studied include Twelfth Night, The Comedy of Errors and King Lear. Term 3: Victorian literature. Our key texts for this unit are three novels which reflect the great changes in life and thought we associate with Victorias long reign: George Eliots The Mill on the Floss, Charles Dickens Great Expectations and Thomas Hardys The Mayor of Casterbridge. Other works such as Elizabeth Gaskells North and South, Wilkie Collins The Woman in White, Eliots Middlemarch and Hardys Far From the Madding Crowd will also be considered to see how these and other texts deal with subjects such as agricultural life, industrial relations, middleclass values and the rights of women, as well as the way authors employ different methods of writing fiction including sensational elements and the devices of comedy.

Term 1: Rejecting the past: European art 18501910. The development of painting styles on the Continent reflected social and political change and showed an increasing commitment to the modern world through a deliberate break from the narrative, naturalistic and aesthetic ideals of the past. Through the movements known as Realism, Impressionism and Post-impressionism, the growing emphasis

on self-expression and on the nature of the medium itself laid the foundations of Modernism. Term 2: The Renaissance reviewed: Florence, Rome and Venice 14001520. The revival of interest in all aspects of classical culture that constituted the Renaissance in Italy altered the way in which man saw himself and his place in the universe. This revival also had a profound effect upon the development of art and sculpture, most particularly with regard to perspective and naturalism. While the main focus will be on Italian art of the period, we will also analyse corresponding developments within Flemish art. Term 3: Victorian values: art and design in 19th-century Britain. In Victorian Britain, conflict emerged between those artists and designers who sought to create innovative contemporary styles and those who immersed themselves in a revival of the arts of the past, both medieval and classical. Art also came to be seen as a means of social reform, with the highest standards of design and craftsmanship being extended to the decorative as well as to the fine arts.

characteristic sites, monuments and features, and their interpretation in the context of the principal archaeological (and other relevant) theories and debates about the origins and development of social and political institutions, administrative structures, and religious symbolism over a period of at least three millennia up to the early 5th century AD. Change and continuity are core principles, as is an emphasis on the provisional character of knowledge. Term 2: Continuity and change in the Anglo-Saxon and medieval landscape. This unit examines the initially sparse and later more plentiful and detailed archaeological and other evidence for continuity and change in the Anglo-Saxon origins and development of, and post-Conquest expansion in, the medieval landscape, focussing particularly (but not exclusively) on settlement and agricultural production. Key contextualising debates will be those around the changing character of Anglo-Saxon society, the development of political and religious institutions, the importance of market and/or subsistence economies, and the extent to which any or all may or may not have contributed to the emergence of characteristic regional pays. Term 3: Interpreting post-medieval landscapes. Radical transformations of countryside and towns from the later 1300s to 2000: history, archaeology, architecture and field studies are combined to explore population, political and social structure, the development of urbanism, the privatisation of land and everyday life, the rise of capitalism and the industrialisation of agriculture and other forms of production.

to terms with the drastic decline in people and with changes to trade patterns. This unit will consider urban development throughout the medieval period with a particular focus on the lives of medieval town-dwellers and how these differed from those of their country cousins. There will also be an emphasis on the experience of East Anglian towns including Cambridge, Newmarket and Thetford. Term 2: Religious identities and social change 17001900. From the cradle to the grave, religion was an almost inescapable element of Georgian and Victorian life, its influence extending far beyond rites of passage into education, welfare, politics, economics, even leisure and entertainment. This unit examines the way in which the near monopoly of the State Church gradually gave way in most localities to a multiplicity of religious identities Dissenter, Methodist, Catholic and Jew and explores how religious language and organisation were used to give expression to regional, ethnic, family, social and aspirational identities. Was this the engine that drove Britains evolution into a diverse and democratic society? Term 3: Researching your local community. Understanding the history of local communities involves coming to grips with both a long period of time and a wide variety of subjects. This unit aims to help you rise to this challenge by enhancing your understanding of how our towns and villages developed from their beginnings to the present day. It explores the key themes of population, religion, social groups, education, agriculture and local and regional industries. The unit is aimed at all who want to improve their understanding of their community and will also appeal to those who aspire to write and publish the results of their own research.

The course is taught through a mixture of illustrated lectures, seminars, field trips and discussion. You will learn how to present and support evidence both through speaking and writing.

Your supervisor will assist in this by giving advice on finding and interpreting primary and secondary sources, asking questions and engaging in relevant debates as well as making sure that you are able to keep to a manageable timetable.
school at Madingley Hall. At this day-school there will be sessions on undertaking research in Cambridge, writing with authority, and structuring and preparing your dissertation; and you will be given the opportunity to tell the others in the group about your research.
Entry requirements
The course is open to all students who can demonstrate appropriate previous experience in religious studies or a related discipline at an advanced level. You might already hold a BA or BSc. Applicants should have a research topic in mind and should be prepared to travel to Cambridge for supervision. Please be aware that the course is taught at university level and you should be able to read, write and speak English fluently. If English is not your first language, we will need evidence of your competence in the English language before we can confirm that you have a place.

The course runs for approximately nine months (36 weeks) from the first supervision to the submission of the dissertation. During this period you will receive five individual supervisions, written comments from your supervisor, and an invitation to a Saturday day-

Term 1: Stars and the cosmic cycle. In this first unit, we study our nearest star, the Sun and learn about the processes that fuel it. We find that stars of a wide range of masses exist and we learn how they evolve and end their lives, turning into exotic objects such as white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. We discover the importance of clusters in which the stars all have the same age. Concentrating on optical observations we will learn about the techniques of measuring some basic quantities such as mass, composition, distance, velocity and luminosity. Term 2: Galaxies and quasars. We shall start by studying the structure and evolution of our own galaxy, the Milky Way and other so-called normal spiral, elliptical or irregular galaxies. We then consider some observations and theoretical ideas about high-energy active galaxies and quasars, and discuss the expanding Universe and the concepts of dark matter and dark energy. The unit will rely on observations with some of the worlds largest ground-based and space telescopes and the latest theories to explain these observations. Term 3: Planets and planetary systems. The planets, their satellites and the other minor

rocky and icy components of the Solar System were mostly created as a by-product of the formation of the Sun 4,600 million years ago. We shall discuss the processes that originally assembled and still continue to shape these diverse bodies. Is life on Earth unique in the Solar System or indeed in the Universe? We will review projects that have led to the discovery of extra solar planets and discuss the necessary steps towards finding out if life exists elsewhere.

The course is delivered through a combination of formal presentations by the tutors, a range of interactive and participative methods of teaching and learning and through set reading and assignments. These may include hands-on laboratory practical sessions, case studies, small and whole group work and oral presentations. You will also have access to resources within ICE Online, the Institutes virtual learning environment. You are expected to take an active part in the course and submit work showing evidence of learning. See p5 for more information.

This one-year part-time course is open to everyone with an interest in the fast-moving and often controversial world of genetics. The study of genetics with the Institute offers you two free-standing and complementary pathways which you can study in any order. Certificate in Genetics I (expected to be available 201213) focuses on the science of inheritance, while Certificate in Genetics II looks at evolutionary genetics. You will discuss basic concepts and address recent advances and ethical issues in the subject. Where possible, hands-on practical work will offer opportunities to set up experiments, analyse and interpret results. Visits to Cambridge museums (Certificate in Genetics I) and to the Sanger Centre (Certificate in Genetics II) are included. On completing either of these qualifications, you will have an informed and wide-ranging understanding of the underlying principles and practices of genetics.

consider the insights that current research gives us into the mechanisms of evolution, and will examine specific case studies. Term 2: Genetic ancestry and human migration. Are you interested in finding out more about human ancestry and evolution? This unit will examine the genetic evidence of human migration by studying population genetics. It will look at what DNA can tell us about human migration across the continents and at case studies of island and local regions to analyse the variation that exists across populations. In order to put these topics into context, this unit will also include class discussion on history, culture, climate change and archaeology. Term 3: Project-based course.This unit comprises one taught session on research methodology and three one-to-one supervisions with a selected supervisor. Students will complete a project of 4,000 words, the topic to be agreed in consultation with the Course Director and supervisor.

neW The Madingley Weekly Programme
This new series of five-week courses at Madingley Hall starts in January 2012. Unlike traditional short courses, which tend to focus on a particular academic field, much of the Madingley Weekly Programme is multidisciplinary, meaning you can explore a variety of perspectives on each topic. Titles including Sex and gender: men, women and social change, Writing non-fiction and Crime and deviance: nuts, sluts and perverts? Several of the courses have a related seminar group where you will be able to explore the issues raised in class in more depth.
Free public lectures and concerts

As part of our commitment to public engagement, we have recently launched a series of free events at Madingley Hall. The Madingley Lectures got under way in January 2011, when a capacity audience heard Lord Rees, the Astronomer Royal, speak on Life in the cosmos. All the lectures are given by leading authorities in their fields, with future speakers including Baroness Deech, Chair of the Bar Standards Board, and Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge. The Madingley Concerts, meanwhile, are designed to showcase the best young musical talent, giving University Instrumental Award holders the opportunity to work with student composers and to perform new pieces alongside more traditional repertoire. In the coming months we will also be participating in University of Cambridge events including the Festival of Ideas and the Cambridge Science Festival.
Weekend courses at Madingley Hall

Our popular weekend programme runs all year round, featuring over 150 courses on subjects ranging from New Testament Greek to the challenges of globalisation. Courses run from Friday evening to Sunday lunchtime, and include meals from our award-winning kitchen. You can choose to stay at Madingley Hall in our comfortable, en-suite accommodation, or attend as a non-resident.
