The degree of Master if given to those who demonstrate the capacity for understanding and resolution of problems in new situations that are not familiar. Inserted in broad and multidisciplinary contexts, this degree provides the capability to solve problems linked to architecture and urbanism, that is: the capacity to integrate knowledge, to deal with complex questions, to develop solutions or give informed judgements in situations of limited or incomplete information. Diverse reflections about the implications, ethical and social responsibilities will result from those solutions, judgements, and constraints. The ability to communicate knowledge, thought process and conclusions unambiguously to populations stems from that enlightening capability of owning competences, that allow future masters in architecture to carry out an autonomous learning throughout life.
The study is destined to all that seek to practice thinking and projecting the built space and its relationship with man.
Upon the approval of the Final Master Project, or Dissertation, or Internship, the masters in architecture acquire the status of professional architects, being habilitated to exercise the profession in a liberal way or in industry, commerce, education, research or in central, regional and local administration.
They also acquire the right of access to the Portuguese Architects Association.
Architects prepared for the conception, rehabilitation, and remodeling of buildings, sets of buildings, public and urban spaces, landscape and territory. The scope of their activity encompasses distinct functions that range from housing, to public and private services, culture, education, health, sports or industrial equipment.
Facing the challenges of the contemporary world, we prepare professionals that are capable of positioning themselves in a professional and disciplinary territory that demands a constant redefinition of the scope and nature of their intervention.
The teaching staff of the Integrated Master in Architecture with Specialization in Interior Architecture includes professionals with a vast experience in project, as well as teachers from the other curricular areas present in this training that teach the specific contents to each curricular unit in an integrative perspective and articulated by a global view of the course and competences to be acquired.
