The Bachelor in Architectural Studies (300 ECTS)

The Bachelor in Architectural Studies prepares students to transform the world and to make meaningful environments. With a project-based approach to learning and a diverse community of faculty and students, the program synthesizes creative, technical, environmental, and social considerations, and is driven by a forward-looking and entrepreneurial spirit.

We teach our students to master the essential tools and skills of the architect, while simultaneously encouraging them to think broadly and creatively about how these tools and skills might be used in the future. Innovative teaching methods include integration and experimentation workshops that approach design issues from many perspectives in an effort to break down traditional barriers and seek solutions in a variety of ways. Our School has established a Fab Lab that has the latest technology and tools used in architecture and design. From  traditional tools to laser cutters to 3d printing machines, students are encouraged to use the the facilities for learning and experimentation.

Master in Architectural Management and Design (60 ECTS)

The Master in Architectural Management and Design is aimed to bridge the gap between advanced design and business management within architecture. It is a 13-month, blended program that allows participants to work and study at the same time alternating on-line sessions with 3 on-site periods. The face-to-face periods are held in Madrid and London, providing networking opportunities with classmates, professors and practicing professionals.

Most architects are, in fact, entrepreneurs and vocational designers who face business responsibilities without adequate tools and training. This program addresses the design implications of business decisions and vice versa through course themes that include; design and business communication, strategic planning, marketing fundamentals, project management, human resource management, and computational design and others.

Master in Strategic Design of Spaces (60 ECTS)

The Master in Strategic Design of Spaces is an innovative, post-professional program that addresses the shifts that are occurring in physical spaces due to changing technology and the impact on organizational structure and behaviors.

A 13-month, blended program, it allows participants to work and study at the same time, alternating on-line interactive sessions with three on-site periods. The strategic partner institution hosting the London component is the Helen Hamlyn Center for Design, of the Royal College of Art.

There are new complexities in the way we work, shop and learn; the technology we use, increased competitiveness, new forms of communication and collaboration, globalization, sociological shifts and sustainability are some of the issues to be examined. This master degree program has been designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle new challenges for the understanding and definition of these typologies of spaces, which are shaping the future of society.
The program will undertake careful analyses of diverse environments – from multiple perspectives – that will include theoretical, technological, spatial and managerial issues. The program seeks to provide a unique understanding of the relationships between strategy, space design and performance objectives. It comes at a time when organizations are radically rethinking how they will function in the future due to profound changes in technology, economics and culture.

Upon completion of the program, students will be able to join companies that provide design and consultancy services, establish or enhance their own practices, where demand for strategic expertise and an understanding of the impacts of digital transformation is high.
