Master in 건축학과

The Department of Architecture at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) trains students in the design, planning, and technical understanding of buildings and the built environment. Coursework in architecture programs typically includes architectural design studios, building technology, structural systems, urban planning principles, and the history and theory of architecture, building both the creative design skills and technical knowledge needed to develop building projects from concept to construction. Students learn to balance aesthetic, functional, structural, and environmental considerations in their design work, preparing them for careers as architects, urban designers, building consultants, and construction project managers. The program is offered at Sungkyunkwan University in Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea, as a two-year master's degree, with new cohorts admitted in March and September of every year. Instruction is delivered in English, allowing an international student body to pursue advanced architectural training within a Korean university context, gaining exposure to Korean architectural practice and urban design alongside global architectural theory and methods. Studio-based coursework typically forms a central part of the curriculum, with students developing design projects that respond to real or hypothetical sites and requirements. Graduates commonly go on to work at architecture firms, urban planning agencies, construction and design consultancies, or pursue further specialization in areas such as sustainable design or urban development. The Seoul location offers direct exposure to a dense, rapidly evolving urban environment that provides practical context for studying contemporary architecture and city planning.
