The UAX Master’s Degree in Architecture is designed for professionals who wish to take the decisive step towards practising architecture as a regulated profession. It offers practical training, closely linked to the realities of the sector, which enhances your technical vision, your design skills and your professional competencies.

By studying the Qualifying Master’s in Architecture at UAX:

  • You will hone your mastery of architectural projects, building works and urban planning, developing comprehensive proposals from concept to detail, whilst integrating sustainability, regulations and technology.
  • You’ll connect with practising professionals: a prestigious teaching staff comprising architects working in practices, public bodies and companies within the sector.
  • You will work within a professional ecosystem, with over 25,000 m² of laboratories, FabLabs, workshops and specialised spaces, designed for prototyping, modelling and presenting projects just as you would in a real practice.
  • You will enhance your professional profile by producing a Master’s Final Project/Thesis tailored to the realities of the profession, which will serve as your calling card for architectural practices, competitions and recruitment processes.

You’ll have direct access to the regulated profession, obtaining the official qualification that legally enables you to practise as an architect.

Furthermore, if you need to balance your studies with your working life, we offer a flexible programme tailored to adults, with personalised support and an academic structure that allows you to progress at your own pace.
