The Integrated Master in Architecture (MIA) is founded on a convergence of various scientific areas connected to the activity of design, in which both practical and theoretical thinking are promoted in order to provide the student with an informed, critical and autonomous perspective with regard to the various dimensions of space.
The first cycle of studies is based on experimentation with the various scales of design, the student's gradual acquisition of autonomy and answering problems of increasing complexity.
The second study cycle consolidates the material of the first, particularly in the synthesis carried out in the last two semesters, cohering the two cycles into a training programme in accordance with a consolidated practice and the demand of exceptional professional requirements.
2026/2027
The Integrated Master degree in Architecture has a duration of 10 semesters, corresponding to 300 ECTS credits: 180 ECTS in the first cycle (3 years) and 120 ECTS in the second cycle (2 years).

The learning goals are implemented in the curricular plan within the various CUs through their processes of teaching and learning, furthering the objectives of the programme. The fulfillment of these objectives if affirmed in the various processes of evaluation for each course. This measure depends on the CU and the specific content for evaluation, as well as the potential for final numerical classification.
To train architects for disciplinary work leading towards the (re)creation, (re)organization and (re)signification of the physical space of society and its individuals, this program fosters in students an architectural way of thinking with artistic, social, and technological dimensions, in which science and technique combine into poetic and ethic thought.
It is intended that students:

Professional opportunities for architects include all those related to the built environment and spatial planning. They focus on the practices of architecture, urbanism, planning and urban management. The activities performed by architects, or in which they may participate, include several scales of design, restoration, refurbishment and adaptation of the built environment, consulting, expertise and construction management, as well as research and architectural criticism. Current challenges require a multidisciplinary vision and a comprehensive perspective from the architect towards the profession, for which Iscte prepares its students through its approach to innovative areas in architecture and linkage to other areas of knowledge.
