Postgraduate Master Programme – Architecture

The follow-up master’s program is conceived as a three-year course and the individual studios highlight various areas of the field of architectonic design. Emphasis is placed on formation of the personality of the artist and perfecting creative individual approaches grounded in knowledge of the basic principles of architectonic techniques. The fundamental principles of learning in all of the studios are conceptual thinking, experiment, thorough analysis of the architectonic assignment and the ability to process it and also wider understanding of architectonic design as an important force in the formation of space and landscape. The course is conceived to expand and deepen the knowledge and skills that students have acquired during bachelor’s studies of architecture at other colleges.

The objective of the master’s program at UMPRUM is to nurture multifaceted graduates who even after graduation will develop their personalities and guarantee in the working process perfect results, exceptional inventiveness, aesthetic quality and a high degree of social sensitivity. They are equipped not only with very good knowledge of expert disciplines in the field and the ability to apply it creatively, but also with a good grounding in humanities subjects, aesthetics and both the history and current state of fine arts. Graduates have the prerequisites for independent architectonic practice and subsequent acquisition of full certification by the Czech Chamber of Architects. They are capable of managing a creative team, leading projects and designing new and unconventional procedures in the solution of comprehensive as well as component assignments. They have all the prerequisites for continuing on to doctoral studies or to become valid members of research teams.
