ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

About the Programme

Oman’s First Master Degree in Architecture and Urban Planning.

The Master of Science in Architecture and Urban Planning (MSc AUP) at GUtech is the first programme in the whole region to offer both Architecture and Urban Planning as specialisations. The MSc programme capitalises on the expertise accumulated by the faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning at RWTH Aachen University and draws form the know-how of GUtech faculty behind the internationally accredited the BSc Urban Planning and Architectural Design programme.

The programme is designed to train fresh graduates and professionals to address the challenges of a rapidly urbanised world by seeking innovative approaches in the built environment. Moreover, the programme offers students to specialise in either architecture or urban planning. The two specialisations equally address societal, environmental, economic and cultural questions but react to them on different scales.

‘Architecture’ specialisation focuses on the constructive, cultural and climatic qualities of buildings and their surroundings.

‘Urban Planning’ specialisation is concerned with the design and planning qualities at the neighborhood, town and regional levels.

Career and Studies Opportunities

Upon completion of the MSc AUP programme, our graduates will be prepared to pursue careers in architecture or urban planning, while others may seek new directions such as project management, urban design, and others. Aside from industry, MSc AUP graduates may go on to pursue consultancy as well as research careers, whether through doctoral study in academia or commercial research.


STRUCTURE

The MSc AUP programme is structured to be offered on a full-time or part-time basis in block mode, over four semesters. The programme encompasses a work load equivalent to 120 credit points in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) or 300 credit points in the Oman Qualification Framework (OQF).

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Students who wish to study MSc AUP are required to meet these requirements:

Academic requirements: A recognised Bachelor degree in architecture, urbanism, or equivalent fields of study. Relevant work experience can compensate for derivation from narrow related field of study.

Language requirements: Applicants must provide adequate proof of English proficiency (e.g. TOEFL 79 internet-based test, IELTS 6.0 or equivalent).

For questions regarding the application process, please send your enquiry to pg.upad@gutech.edu.om.
