The Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programme in Architecture offers its students training in the profession of architecture based on a ‘polytechnic culture’, in which humanistic and artistic skills are inseparably and continually combined with scientific and technological skills within a technical university that is a leader in Europe and the world, capable of both enhancing its Milanese tradition and welcoming a growing plurality of cultural experiences, with the aim of designing the future with foresight.



The educational environment is characterised by a remarkable international openness guaranteed by the presence of students and professors from all over the world.



The educational objective is to train an educated professional architect, who is able to deal, in an innovative and responsible way, with the complexity of the transformation process of contemporary living spaces through:



  • the ability to understand the specific context in which to act;
  • the ability to redevelop and enhance existing buildings and spaces;
  • the ability to design in anthropic and natural contexts characterised by unprecedented potentialities and vulnerabilities in rapid and constant transformation;
  • the capacity for attentive care of spatial quality, starting from an understanding of the irreducible complexity of human identity, from its spatiotemporal needs to its existential aspirations.


Educational methods are based on the centrality of the design experience within multidisciplinary workshops, in which different skills (design, scientific, technical, cultural and critical) work together to address the most urgent global challenges:


  • sustainability, which is also cultural, social, economic and environmental;
  • technological innovation, both analogue and digital, which transforms an architect’s profession through significant changes in the way in which the design, creation and management of buildings and anthropic and natural contexts are interrelated in an increasingly complex and delicate manner;
  • the development of individual and social responsibilities, especially in a global reality characterised not only by unprecedented complexities and uncertainties, but also by emerging technologies that require cultural, critical and ethical awareness.


Graduates from the Architecture programme can carry out all activities pertaining to the profession of European architect and cover roles of responsibility in public and private institutions and bodies operating the city and land transformation fields.
