- Develop collaborative skills and critical thinking to address real-world challenges, promote socially responsible design, and conduct scholarly research.
- Prepare for professional practice with a holistic approach, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration and lifelong learning in the dynamic field of architecture.
Graduation Requirements
To be eligible for graduation, students must earn a minimum of 234 ECTS credits. Once they reach this threshold, they are in a graduation position and may register for one additional course, regardless of their GPA. However, this additional course must fall within the maximum limit of 45 ECTS credits per semester.
Occupational Opportunities
An integrated master's in architecture offers diverse career paths, including licensed architectural roles in firms or government agencies. Graduates may specialize in urban planning, landscape architecture, or sustainable design. Unconventional opportunities such as scenography, industrial design, and academia are also open. With interdisciplinary skills, you'll be well prepared for dynamic roles in architecture and related fields.
Access to Further Studies
After completing an integrated master's in architecture, graduates can pursue specialized master's programs in several areas, such as sustainable design, urban design, historic preservation, or computational parametric design. The program opens up a range of future opportunities, including further study abroad. Interdisciplinary tracks in the arts, technology, international cooperation, or real estate development offer non-traditional paths. For those interested in research and scholarship, a Ph.D. offers advanced study options and positions in academia, research, or industry leadership.
