Master's Programme in Architecture and Urban Design

Do you want to take part in designing sustainable architecture and developing socially just cities for the future? The Master’s Programme in Architecture and Urban Design is operating in-between the artistic and the scientific field of knowledge. The programme is characterised by a consistent focus on sustainability and has an exploratory and experimental profile with teachers worldwide.

The programme leads to a Master of Fine Arts, which means you can work with architecture and urban planning in the private and public sectors. The international character provides good preparation for work in Sweden and the rest of the world. Good conditions for those who want to research the subject are also to be found here.

We teach and research the fields of language, religion, history, archaeology, philosophy, history of ideas, art, literature, ethnology, media and culture.
