Master of Science, Architecture; Urban Planning and Policy Design, 2-year programmes, Master, 120,
Bachelor of Science in Architecture (180 ECTS)
The heart of the Bachelor in Architecture lies in a challenging blend of Italian architecture with worldwide issues and trends. Application for the programme is open to Italian, EU, and non-EU citizens. Activities in each semester are centred upon a design-oriented studio, considered as a primary focus in the development of the educational path. Several design tutors are in fact established professionals who manage to bring together research, technical, and practical knowledge. Additional core and elective courses also accompany the design studio, and are assessed through a combination of coursework, essays and examinations.
Students will be also supported by expert tutors, selected among the teaching and research staff. Excursions, residential workshops, exchange programmes and other educational activities provide the students with further opportunities to develop their profile according to their interests. The programme in Architecture, taught entirely in English, was activated, parallel to the longstanding Italian taught programme. Applicants must have completed (or be in the process of completing the last year of) their pre-university studies. The three-year degree is designed for all who seek to develop a solid foundation in the field of architecture, for either working in architecture related areas or continuing education in higher degree programmes.
Bachelor of Science in Urban Planning (180 ECTS)
The programme is rooted in the long standing tradition of our School, as it proposes to focus on the close relationship between urban landscapes and urban development as a fundamentally social and economic phenomenon: policy analysis, sociology, economics and design are thus brought to bear on urban problems in Italy and in Europe. Students will learn about the skills and responsibilities in which planners need to consolidate in order to promote effective and viable solutions to urban problems. The three-year degree is entirely taught in Italian or in English is designed for all those who seek a solid background in the field of urban planning, for either working in planning related areas or continuing education in higher degree programmes. Application for the programme is open to Italian, EU, and non-EU citizens. Activities in each semester are centered upon a studio, and a number of classes. Classes are divided in core subjects and elective courses: their topics range from representation techniques, history of architecture, to law, geography, regional economics and applied mathematics. Students will be also supported by expert tutors, selected among the teaching and research staff. Applicants must have completed (or be in the process of completing the last year of) their pre-university studies. The three-year degree is structured for those wishing a solid basis in the field of urban planning, as preparation for either working in planning related areas or continuing education in higher degree programmes.
Bachelor of Science in Environmental Architecture (180 ECTS)
This Program is held in Italian only and it aims at educating professional architects who will support the programming, design and the implementation of projects for the organization and transformation of the built environment at different scales. The student will operate in institutions and in the public and private sectors, engineering and specialized firms, real estate firms, contractors, and as a freelance or consultancy. The most common career opportunities involve significant autonomy and responsibilities, in fields where the architectural requirements are connected to the full awareness of the multiscalar nature of micro and macro environments. The Course is organized in two orientations: the one, held in Milan, is concentrated in sustainable architectural planning and local landscapes; the second, held in Piacenza, is concentrated in Urban Time and Mobility Planning.
