About the institution

The Department of Architecture at Chalmers University of Technology houses an excellent infrastructure in the form of studio spaces, an architecture library, model workshops and digital fabrication, a robot lab, and several research groups and centres.

About the program

In the programme Architecture and Planning beyond Sustainability, a critical perspective of sustainable development and current practice in architecture and urban design is encouraged, looking beyond current challenges and developments to envision a new era of architecture and planning. The ambition is to promote convincing future visions for the development of the built environment, preparing graduates to help shape the future of the spaces we live and work in.

The master’s programme runs for a duration of two years, leading to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. The student completes 120 ECTS at the end of the 4 semesters. Compulsory, compulsory elective and elective courses are a part of the program, with electives accounting for the largest part of the Master’s program, allowing for a personalization of the studies.
