Program

Department of Architecture aims to widen the scope of the Master of Architecture program (M.Arch.) through introducing new alternative routes to graduate students with varying interests or professional perspectives. In line with many reputable architectural schools abroad, Department of Architecture offers a new professional degree opportunity, namely the Master of Architecture (M.Arch). The program is tailored to accommodate individual interests and methodologies to improve the professional skills of students (architects) on the basis of advanced architectural design projects. The Master of Architecture is a one year professional degree program without thesis for those who wish to deepen their design abilities and expand their knowledge of contemporary theory, technology, and environmental systems, as well as professional issues in the discipline of architecture.

Admission Requirements

Candidates for admission to the M.Arch. Program should have a B.Arch. degree in architecture. The graduates of the program obtain the title of a registered / practicing architect.

Documents needed to apply to the programs offered by the Department of Architecture

In addition to the documents specified in the application form, the Department of Architecture also requires:
