The Department of Architecture at the University of Pretoria focuses on the complementary fields of architecture, interior architecture and landscape architecture.
Following an ecosystemic approach, the Department’s three programmes and its research focus areas are mutually supportive and are often integrated into transdisciplinary research projects with partners in industry, government and local communities. The Department’s research foci are built around the objective of creating resource-efficient, resilient and regenerative built environments, which respect both the landscape and the cultural context, improving ecological integrity, while contributing to a sense of meaningful place and socialecological wellbeing within rapidly changing local and global contexts.

Undergraduate BSc Architecture students will learn creative and critical design thinking, while interacting with complex social, cultural and environmental problems at multiple scales, in this three year, full-time, studio-based study programme.
Postgraduate students can pursue either professional honours and master’s degree programmes or research-based master’s or doctoral degree programmes. The Department continuously works to broaden professional development pathways.
The Department offers postgraduate specialisations in three synergistic disciplines: architecture, interior architecture and landscape architecture. This supports the Department’s ecosystemic approach to teaching, learning and research.
The Department’s multidisciplinary approach allows it to conduct research that responds to disciplinary concerns and global challenges through investigations rooted in the local context. Read the Department of Architecture’s latest news here.
