PRESENTATION

The Master’s Degree in Collective Housing, MCH, is a postgraduate professional program of advanced architecture presented by Universidad Politécnica of Madrid and rated as one of the best housing programs by architects and experts.

Right from the start, students from all nations have been trained in collective-housing-related specialty areas and have demonstrated a high professional level making important contributions in research projects, winning competitions or taking leadership roles in the most relevant architecture firms worldwide.

MCH has always committed to the highest level of excellence combining teachers of international prestige and a thorough participant selection process in order to make the best out of this course. The specialties that are offered as part of our program are as follows: Energy & Sustainability, Housing Projects, Construction & Technology, Business Management & International Practice, Landscape & Residential Urban Design, Housing Theory, Low-cost & Emergency Housing and Sociology, Economy & Politics .

These areas are directed by major specialists in each field and are combined with seven workshops led by the most prestigious architects in the field, with a teaching load of 25 hours. In the past years, MCH has built a close relationship with great architects such as Dietmar Eberle, Felix Claus, Anne Lacaton, Frits van Dongen, Hrvoje Njiriç, Juan Herreros, Edzo Bindels, Jacob van Rijs, Alejandro Aravena, Andrea Deplazes, Peter Ebner, Wiel Arets or Riken Yamamoto, who are regular workshop leaders.

The course is intended for qualified architects who have completed their bachelor´s degree or equal level certificate. The program consists of 600 hours (60 ECTS) from January to July, Monday trough Friday, every afternoon (16.00 to 21.00). During this time, it is strongly recommended a full-time

dedication in order to develop and complete practical work.

The most important housing-related companies complete this group which builds up an ongoing research, education and exchange network.
