Programme profile

Do you want to create sustainable, socially just cities and buildings of the future? The Architecture programme at the School of Architecture at Umeå University can be described as being on the borderline between the artistic and the scientific disciplines. The programme is characterized by a consistent focus on sustainability and has an international profile with teachers from all over the world.

The teaching is largely project-based and aims to integrate theoretical and scientific knowledge with process-oriented and artistic research. Sustainability and resource awareness, as well as experimentation in full-scale construction, are important elements in the education. Umeå School of Architecture is equipped with a wood workshop, laser cutter, 3D printer and computer rooms.Many lectures are given by internationally professional architects, artists and researchers. You present your projects with, among other things, models and sketches, and have your own workplace in the school's studio. During the first three years of the education, key concepts, methods and theoretical models are introduced. The starting point gradually shifts from the local, to the regional, to the global. During the two final years, opportunities are given for specialization through different study choices with different specializations.
