Structure of the programme

We see architecture studies as a learning landscape. You get to choose your own path.

The field of architecture is currently changing at a rapid pace. In the face of increasing global challenges, both academics and practitioners have to deal with the climate crisis, demographic change, unequal social development and the failures of the existing built environment. To meet these challenges, students pursuing a degree in architecture today need more diverse skills than ever. Building on the fundamental teachings of the Bachelor’s degree programme, the Master’s degree programme reflects the diverse and complex challenges that architecture faces today as a responsible, globally connected yet locally enacted profession – but also seeks to resolve these through a unified agenda in shaping the built environment. 

To cover the diversity of the field of architecture, the LSA is organised into units. The LSA's current five units ensure a broad spectrum of content in teaching and research and enable an in-depth and focussed exploration of the respective topics:
