Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for
participation in the module
The student must have knowledge, skills and competencies within the
architectural design and engineering field corresponding to the
completion of the MSc01 - MSc03 Architectural Engineering
education.
Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
The final semester sets the stage of manifestation of the
students’ abilities to make design solutions. The students must
define a problem and display the ability to achieve a design
proposal in an integrated whole. The work must include relevant
theories and methodologies and be based on the skills and
competencies acquired throughout the Master’s program in
architecture.
Learning objectives
Knowledge

of specialisation at a high international level
- Must be able to critically assess knowledge and identify
problems within the field of specialisation
- Must demonstrate the ability to select appropriate research
based knowledge in the process
Skills
- Must be able to use an advanced integrated design process
- Must be able to independently motivate their choice of methods
or/and theoretical approach
- Must be able to demonstrate the acquired skills in tectonics
and sustainability in accordance with and at a level suitable to
the chosen theme of the master thesis
- Must be able to apply a range of methods within the field of
engineering and architecture and demonstrate the use of selected
