    Architecture at Nebrija is about shaping the future. Our projects focus on regenerating cities and landscapes through innovative, sustainable design. Experimental workshops explore ephemeral architecture, prototyping, and lighting, while courses on territory and energy place sustainability at the center of urban development.

    Learn in close-knit classes guided by an internationally minded faculty of leading academics and industry professionals. With on-campus and blended formats, the program adapts to your ambitions and professional journey.



    Our school thrives at the intersection of architecture, engineering, and computer science

    Prepare yourself to work as an architect and dedicate yourself to a profession that encompasses art, engineering, aesthetics, design and knowledge of landscape and urban planning, under the guidance of some of the best architects in the world, such as Carlos Rubio (winner of the Prado Extension Competition alongside Norman Foster) or RCR Arquitectes (Pritzker Prize).

    Our school develops in a common area with engineering and computer studies. An enriching polytechnic where our students experience a rigorous and high quality training. This ecosystem is complemented by the presence of key figures in architecture today, such as Patrik Schumacher, Emanuel Christ and Assemble. Along with educational experiences developed with universities such as HIT - Harbin Institute of Technology and Central Saint Martins. Professional practice is integrated into the curriculum: Ikea, Cosentino, Acciona or Ferrovial are companies linked to this aspect of the university.

    The city is our real field of work. Nebrija Architecture students have carried out interventions within Tetuán in social responsibility programmes under the impulse of the Regional Government of Madrid. They have also left their mark in the vicinity of the Prado Museum, within the "DecorAcción by Hearst España" programme.

    All this builds our dynamic educational ecosystem where to transform design, where to transform society, where to transform architecture, where to transform the future.

    "The key is to extract all that the student has within him, not so much in knowledge but in his abilities and how to exploit them to the full".
