This Master study program is a 100% research-based academic pathway designed for professionals and graduates who seek to deepen their expertise in architectural theory, sustainable design, urban innovation, and advanced spatial research. Positioned at a level equal to EQF Level 7 and aligned with the second European cycle, the program emphasizes analytical thinking, scientific methodology, and evidence-based architectural practice.

With an academic load equal to 60 ECTS and a minimum duration of 12 months (with flexible extension options), the program enables participants to balance professional commitments while engaging in rigorous academic inquiry. It is structured to support independent research, critical evaluation of architectural systems, and the development of innovative design solutions grounded in scientific frameworks.

The curriculum consists of five modules:

  • Two research-focused modules dedicated to advanced research methodologies, academic writing, and applied architectural investigation.

  • Two general modules designed to strengthen strategic thinking, interdisciplinary analysis, and professional competencies.

  • One specialized module in Architecture, concentrating on contemporary architectural discourse, sustainable urban development, smart cities, digital modeling, and environmentally responsible design practices.

The program culminates in a thesis and structured research activities that allow participants to explore complex architectural challenges such as climate-responsive design, urban resilience, cultural heritage integration, digital transformation in architecture, and sustainable infrastructure systems.

This Master study program is particularly suitable for architects, urban planners, design consultants, project managers, and built-environment professionals seeking to enhance their academic profile, expand research capacity, and contribute to innovative architectural development on a global scale.

Graduates are prepared to engage in advanced professional practice, research initiatives, policy advisory roles, and doctoral-level progression in architecture and related fields.
