Overview
The MA in Architecture from Università Iuav di Venezia gives students an excellent preparation for the evolving demands of society, both in the technical-scientific area and the humanities. It teaches how to cope with present-day problems related to urban and natural landscapes. It focuses on the conservation and transformation of different architectural and urban contexts, with special attention to environmental, economic and social sustainability.
This programme prepares students to tackle pressing architectural, urban and environmental issues in the national and international scenes.
It offers updated visions of architecture and integrates them with ideas from global culture. It employs the most innovative techniques and methodologies to train generations of digital natives. This also means providing cross-disciplinary competences in:
- urban projects and theories on the city, with their related issues of sustainable growth and sustainable de-growth;
- Italian cultural heritage and its conservation through regenerative projects that can be applied to other countries and contexts;
- interior and exhibition design – a global asset for today’s architects.
The Iuav MA in Architecture offers student-centred learning through problematisation, experimentation and critical reflection by applying a variety of methods and practices to finally acquire advanced skills and reach informed positions.
The modules taught in each semester are developed in synergy. They are research-driven in order to present design as a process of inquiry. Each semester includes one integrated design lab and two theoretical courses.
Post-graduate opportunities
MA students are highly qualified to fill important positions in both national and international agencies.
They can work in public institutions, private practices and public companies in the fields of construction and urban and regional planning.
MA is a prerequisite to take the Italian State Exam to qualify as licensed architects.
Iuav Placement Services help postgraduates to find the most suitable opportunities for internships and land future jobs, both in Italy and abroad.
