Architecture MSc

The 5-year Architecture Masters degree programme at The Faculty of Architecture at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics focuses on developing highly professional experts in architectural engineering who are aware of the social and cultural implications of their profession. The emphasis is on versatility and students will gain fundamental knowledge and abilities in every possible field of architecture, allowing them to work in a highly competitive job market, and in any building- or design-related area of consulting, construction, and management.

The Architecture course has been taught at BUTE for over 40 years. This experience has been incorporated into the relatively new english-taught programme, which is in full conformity with the 5-year program provided in Hungarian, which after two years practice and experience is accepted for access to EUR-ING title.

At the end of the third year of study students have the option of continuing with the MSc course and completing a further 2 years of study, or they can complete a BSc in just one year of additional study. Those who continue with the MSc programme can elect courses in three areas of specialisation:

• Structural Design – buildings and other structures.
• Architectural Design – buildings with different functions, their interiors and surroundings; the preservation of historical buildings.
• Town Planning – urban design, settlement planning and management.

Students that successfully complete the Architecture course are qualified for a broad spectrum of architectural occupations, such as:

• Design, construction, and maintenance of residential, public, industrial and agricultural buildings;
• Reconstruction and the preservation of historical monuments;
• Urban design and settlement planning;
• Administration of all these activities.
