Dipl.-Ing. in Architecture - Master's Program

Architecture Takes Shape in Practice

In the Master’s program in Architecture, you’ll work on current issues facing communities, institutions, and the construction industry. Together with external partners, you’ll develop solutions to real-world challenges—from the initial idea to a feasible concept. In this way, you’ll learn to tackle complex projects using an interdisciplinary approach and to take on responsibility in the planning process.

Your Personal Architecture Profile

You play an active role in shaping your degree program. Elective modules, research projects, and individualized specializations allow you to set your own areas of focus—for example, in sustainable construction, digital planning methods, or regional development processes. This helps you develop a skill set that aligns with your interests and career goals.

Research Becomes Part of Your Designs

The latest research is directly incorporated into the program. Together with research groups and experts, you’ll explore topics such as the circular economy, resource efficiency, and innovative construction processes. This leads to designs that combine scientific insights with practical applicability.

Perspectives Beyond National Borders

Today, architecture is shaped by international exchange. Field trips, collaborations, and international teaching formats open up new perspectives on architecture, urban planning, and sustainable building culture, and expand your professional network.

Architecture for the Construction Transition

This master’s program specifically prepares you for the transformation of the construction industry. Topics such as decarbonization, the circular economy, reuse, and resource-efficient design run throughout the entire program. You’ll develop skills that are increasingly in demand in the architecture industry.

In the Master’s program in Architecture at CU University of Applied Sciences Carinthia, you’ll be equipped to navigate the necessary transformation of the construction industry. How? Here, a wealth of interdisciplinary expertise converges in a stimulating environment. We consistently pursue the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). And we build your Master’s program in Architecture on three forward-looking pillars: Culture of Dialogue | Culture of Materials | Culture of Renovation.

Ready for the Construction Transition

A Transformation in Construction for Climate Protection? Why, exactly? Buildings play a huge role in climate change. They are responsible for about 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. Nearly 50 percent of raw materials extracted from nature are used in construction. And that’s not even mentioning their share of total waste. So: That’s why!
