The MSc in Computational Design and Digital Fabrication investigates the relationship between computational tools and architectural design. The programme offers the opportunity to develop computational design skills and experiment with hands-on cutting-edge fabrication, while acquiring analytical and creative problem-solving thinking.

An innovative Distance Learning Structure allows for remote teaching from faculty of the University of Nicosia in Cyprus and the University of Innsbruck in Austria, while two intensive, on-site workshops, at ARC Fab Lab in Nicosia and the Robotic Lab (REXLAB) of the Institute for Experimental Architecture in Innsbruck, provide the opportunity for applying newly acquired knowledge, establishing academia and industry connections and engaging with the global research community.

The MSc in Computational Design and Digital Fabrication operates as a cross-disciplinary platform, bringing together participants from various design and engineering specializations. The course is open to professionals with backgrounds in architecture, interior design, industrial design, product design, civil and structural engineering, mechanical engineering, and related fields. Suitably qualified candidates from other disciplines with a demonstrated focus on design and engineering are also encouraged to apply.


To be considered for admission, candidates must submit the following documents:


  • Curriculum Vitae (CV)
  • Detailed Portfolio displaying relevant background and/or interest in computational design and digital fabrication. The portfolio should clearly demonstrate the candidate’s design and/or engineering experience.
  • Basic computing experience relevant to the field of computational design.
  • A Bachelor’s degree (Second Class Honours 2:1 or equivalent) in a relevant field (such as architecture, engineering, industrial design, or product design) from an accredited institution of higher education, along with a transcript.
  • Short statement (approximately two pages) outlining personal goals, research aims, and reasons for interest in the programme.
  • English Language Proficiency: If English is not your first language, you may be required to demonstrate that you meet the University of Nicosia’s Postgraduate Admissions Requirements for English Language Proficiency, which can be found here.
  • Contact details of two referees: Preferably one academic referee and one professional supervisor.
  • Optional supporting documents: Other documents that may enhance the application (e.g., articles, publications, awards).
  • Interview: The admissions process may include an interview during which the candidate will have the opportunity to present a topic of their choice
