OFFICIAL MASTER DEGREE PROGRAMME "ARCHITECTURAL TECHNOLOGY" Syllabus The studies that lead to the qualifications of the Official Master Degree in Technology in the Architecture are structured in 4 thematic Specialization Lines: Architectural Construction - Technological Innovation Architectural Structures Design and Analysis Services and energy efficiency Building Restoration The foreseen duration of the studies is 2 academic years, with 60 ECTS credits lectured in each one. Each year is distributed in two semesters with 30 credits. The distribution of the required courses (to be studied by the students of four lines together), compulsory courses (to be studied by the students inscribed in each specific line) and complementary elective courses (with possibility of election), is specified for each Specialization Line and for each semester in the following tables, including also the number of ECTS credits for each course. Although the majority of the courses will be in-person courses, some of the optional courses will probably be lectured in a combined way: as in-person and distance learning courses.
