Overview

The Architecture program at Tsinghua University is intentionality small scale, around 20-25 students per year, to create a high quality, person based learning environment.

Architectural practice

Our Master's program connects well to the contemporary architectural discourse, in terms of its topics, critical-thinking and choice of socially engaged studio topics. In addition it is also fully embedded within the conditions of contemporary architectural practice.

This is best stated in the condition of the school itself, which has its practical counterpart in the Tsinghua Institute for Architectural Design, a full fledged 1,500 person strong design firm that is housed next doors. The combination with, and proximity to, the design institute, of which our dean is also the director, functions as a strong link for critical reflection on practice and its direct implementations.

During the 2 years EPMA program we also provide the opportunity to include a 6 month internship, either at one of the over 1,000 independent, Chinese or foreign owned, architectural firms in Beijing, working on real projects within one of the professors' ateliers, or in one of the government owned design institutes.
