Opportunities

A Master’s degree in Architecture gives access to a wide range of professions

The Master’s degree in Architecture gives access to the following professions :

• Self-employed architect

A graduate of a Master’s degree in architecture can work as a self-employed architect in Belgium, providing that they have completed a two-year work placement. They will be supervised by an experienced architect, under the authority of the Ordre des Architectes.

The course leads to a European qualification and allows architects to practise their profession in the European Union. They are also eligible for the HMONP qualification in France. This is a one-year course that enables candidates to embark on a career path that will lead them to take on the responsibility of an architectural project.

• Architect employed by a private or public company

The growing complexity of the building process, construction-related tasks and new urban and environmental challenges offer newly qualified architects a wide range of careers.

Far from opening the door solely to the construction of urban and suburban buildings, the course leads to careers in urban planning, regional development, heritage restoration and energy, among others.

These opportunities range from new builds and urban planning to the booming renovation, redevelopment and conversion market.

A number of our former graduates have successfully embarked on these different career paths.

New graduates can also embark on a PhD. Research in multidisciplinary teams provides a favourable setting for this kind of work.

Master’s degree in Urban Planning and Territorial Development

Graduates of this Master’s degree will be called upon, as major players in the transition of our societies and their territories, to be part of professional developments in the design, planning and management of territories. This opens up opportunities in both the public and private sectors, both for project management for those who commission urban planning and territorial development projects, usually from the public sector, and for project management for the service providers who offer their skills in response to the clients.
