The Master’s Degree Program in Building Engineering and Architecture integrates knowledge from civil engineering and architecture to create a comprehensive professional in the field of building and architectural design. Graduates are equipped to oversee a project from its conception through to its realization and management, addressing both new construction and the restoration and conservation of architectural heritage.

This program continues a rich Italian cultural tradition of great engineers and architects who have conceived extraordinary architectural works and large-scale engineering projects. It offers a multidisciplinary education that addresses the complexities of urban and building processes, from planning and construction to maintenance and management, ensuring that projects are both effective in meeting their objectives and sustainable from a technical and economic perspective.

Spanning five years, the program features a renewed curriculum starting from the 2022/2023 academic year, with a growing focus on international contexts and global career opportunities.

The Master’s Degree in Building Engineering-Architecture is inherently international in scope, providing numerous opportunities for cultural exchanges and collaborations with European universities through an extensive Erasmus exchange program and other academic activities.

Since 2010, the program has offered a Double Master’s Degree in collaboration with Tongji University in Shanghai, China. This pathway allows students to earn a dual degree recognized both in Italy (and thus in the EU) and in the People’s Republic of China. Since 2016, the program also offers a Double Bachelor’s Degree in partnership with Universitat Jaume I in Spain. Additionally, the program has a long-standing tradition of international workshops and Winter/Summer Schools in collaboration with numerous European and non-European universities.
