The Master’s degree in Architecture gives students access to numerous career possibilities

Far from just being able to work on urban and suburban building projects, the Master’s opens the way to careers in urban planning, heritage restoration and energy.

After having worked as a freelance architect for a few years, I became an assistant under mandate at the FA+U, allowing me to discover a new rich and intense profession.
“After having worked as a freelance architect for a few years, I became an assistant under mandate at the FA+U, allowing me to discover a new rich and intense profession, particularly in terms of the exchanges and encounters between the very varied profiles of the researchers, teachers and students. A doctorate gives architects the opportunity to broaden their range of skills, by specialising and participating in the analysis of complex problems that characterise tomorrow’s societal challenges. The aim of my thesis is to develop a tool to assist the compact and rational densification of village centres in Wallonia. It’s a subject that fits in with the issue of urban sprawl and its negative impact on the environment. Embarking on a PhD is a unique experience and a professional challenge, because writing a thesis constantly pushes back our limits by confronting us with the rigour of the scientific world.”
