Lund University

MSc in Architecture

Programme overview

The world is rapidly changing, thus offering new challenges for architecture. These challenges concern everything from the densification of cities and sustainability to new technologies and how they affect the way we design and build. Lund University, located in the dynamic Copenhagen–Malmö region, is well known for its competence and knowledge and offers superb resources for studying these matters in a broader context. The programme combines best practice with advanced research, thus educating students to become highly skilled professionals who are competitive at an international level.

Teaching contains both theoretical and hands-on projects aiming to find future-focused solutions to real-world issues. The programme features international collaboration as well as locally active professionals. The process of working/learning consists of a mixture of workshops, critiques, tutorials with invited guests (both international and local) and longer projects that will be exhibited to a public audience.

The objectives of the Master’s programme in Architecture are:

• to offer a broad education in architecture with possible specialisation within two main fields.
• to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to act successfully within a challenging future shaped by internationalisation, change and emerging technologies.
