A world-recognized School of Architecture

Venice provides lifelong inspiration. An uninterrupted tradition links Venice to its School of Architecture. Masters such as Carlo Scarpa and Aldo Rossi, who taught at Iuav, were affected by the beauty of Venice and translated it into their works.
Iuav caters for the needs of rapidly changing professional environments and is fully committed to teaching design and planning as interpretations of spaces, knowledge of their history and synergy of multidisciplinary competencies and skills.

During the two-year study programme, you will acquire all the necessary competencies to become architectural designer and thinker able to move towards a career in architecture as independent and inventive practitioners. You will also acquire the knowledge to enhance your communication skills and gain expertise in contemporary architectural fields.

The English-taught MA in architecture provides education and training for internationally oriented architects in accordance with the Directive of the European Parliament 2005/36/CE. It offers you excellent preparation for the changing demands of society, both in the technical-scientific area and the humanities. It trains how to cope with present-day problems related to urban and natural landscapes while focusing on the conservation and transformation of different architectural and urban contexts, with particular attention to environmental, economic and social sustainability.

MA students are highly qualified to hold important positions in both national and international architectural firms. They can work in public institutions, private practices and public companies in construction, urban and regional planning.

The study plan for those enrolled in the 2025/2026 academic year is currently being drawn up. For further orientation you can consult below the study plan for the year 2024/2025.
