Master of Architecture I

As a Professional Degree, the MArch I program recruits individuals who are passionate about architecture and have a non-architecture related bachelor’s degree. Our institute is looking for young and aspirational design talents from within the country and abroad to participate in the course of study for the first three semesters. The fourth semester consists of architectural design studios that are held by award-winning architects. Internationally renowned architects are also invited to participate in a one-week workshop that is held annually. Our institute encourages students to participate in international competitions, international architectural exhibitions, architectural tours or project internships, in hope that our students can establish a global field of view and heighten their awareness of the environments. Students are also encouraged to take cross-units courses that are related to the digital-media to strengthen their integrating abilities in the digital era.
