The development of cities and the built environment places enormous pressure on the natural world. As urbanization continues at a rapid pace, finding sustainable and adaptable solutions to these issues is becoming essential. In this program, we encourage a critical perspective of sustainable development and current practice in architecture and urban design.

With new challenges for architecture such as denser cities, increased globalisation, climate adaptation and the rapid evolution of technology, the need for skilled architects who understand these challenges is growing. This programme combines independent, design-led studios with theoretical and practical courses where students learn to find future-focused solutions to real-world issues in order to produce skilled graduates that can compete on a global level. Students can choose from two specialisations: Advanced Architectural Design or Spatial Experiment (Architecture and Digital Process).
