Key Summary
About: The Master's programme at ARCHIP blends global and local perspectives, conceptual and technical training, and European and American architectural traditions. Taught in an interdisciplinary design studio, it emphasizes practical, project-based work across architectural practice, urbanism, construction technology, and theory. Students study in a collaborative studio environment over two-year full-time study, gaining hands-on skills in design development, fabrication, and professional workflows.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue roles in architectural practice, urban design, project architecture, design consultancy, research and academia. Related paths include building technology specialist, conservation consultant, and interdisciplinary design strategist in studios, private firms, public agencies, or research institutions.
The Master's program at ARCHIP is a two-year graduate program taught in an interdisciplinary studio environment with a focus on practical and project-based work, incorporating all aspects of architectural practice, and in-depth understanding of the field.
Architectural Design is the cornerstone of our graduate program enabling the students to work closely with their tutors, who are themselves practicing architects, on a specific project which incorporates various aspects of architectural practice. Urban Design teaches students the broad theoretical principles of development/life/design of a complex urban system. Further, our graduate students also receive training in methods of communication with both private and public investors, consultants, and stakeholders, since an architect must be able to engage in professional dialogue and make collective decisions with fellow architects, professionals from other fields, and with the public.
All courses included in the Architecture and Urbanism Master program are compulsory. As many as half of all study hours take the form of one-on-one consultations with the tutor. Thanks to the small number of graduate students in one year (max. 30), our students benefit from intensive and highly personalized contact with our faculty members.
The credit system and the classification scale are based on the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), which allows for student mobility.
The graduate program aims to develop well-rounded professionals in the field of architecture who are best positioned to go on to apply and further expand their talents in a range of professional workplaces.
