Architectural Engineering Single-cycle MSc (OTM)

Faculty of Architecture (ÉPK)

Our single-cycle OTM programme offers an integrated direct path to a Master of Science degree in Architectural Engineering. This premier learning experience seamlessly bridges technical proficiency with inventive design, empowering our students to become a competitive force across the global architectural landscape.

Set within the university’s historic central building - one of the most iconic landmarks in Budapest - the programme fosters a unique academic atmosphere where tradition meets visionary thinking. Students develop a robust balance of technological mastery (based on maths and physics) and creative resourcefulness, with the opportunity to specialise from the 4th year in two high-impact fields: Sustainable Architecture or Urban Design & Real Estate Development.

Career options

The 10 semester long Single-cycle (OTM) MSc Programme leads directly to an MSc degree in Architecture and Architectural Engineering (Dipl. Ing. Arch.). The Faculty of Architecture focuses on training highly professional experts in architectural engineering who are aware of the social and cultural implications of their profession. Versatility is emphasized so that students will gain fundamental knowledge and skills in every possible field of architecture: design, consulting, construction and management. Employment is directly possible after the Single-cycle (OTM) MSc degree or our most dedicated students can enroll in one of our Doctoral Schools to obtain a PhD or DLA degree to become highly qualified researchers or even pursue an academic career.
