Arkitektur är ett både tekniskt och konstnärligt område. Undervisningen i arkitektur förmedlar en kombination av teoretiska professionella kunskaper och förmågan till konstnärlig gestaltning.

Landskapsarkitekter är ett betydande yrkesgrupp för samhället och miljön. Gemensamt för landskapsarkitekter är viljan och förmågan att göra gemensamma landskap hållbara, fungerande och vackra. Aalto-universitetets internationellt ansedda magisterprogram i landskapsarkitektur är det enda magisterprogrammet för landskapsarkitektur på universitetsnivå i Finland.

Interior architecture addresses the close human scale of space and furniture to create meaning and value to people and organisations, and to transform and renew the everyday living environment. Dealing with the design of immediate interior and exterior environments, interior architecture requires understanding on human culture, needs and aspirations, the bodily experience and senses, and the spatial, material and technological means to meet these. A skilled interior architect is capable of integrating diverse elements into functional and experiential design solutions that exceed the users’ and clients’ expectations and are socially, environmentally and economically sustainable.

The programme educates interior architects with a distinct design personality. It comprises studies on spatial design and furniture design. Concrete design assignments form a major part of education. The studies emphasise advanced practical design skills combined with conceptual and strategic design thinking and research-driven design. Students are encouraged to expand the frontiers of the discipline by addressing systems level problems and societal challenges across the scale of built environment.
Students graduated from the programme are eligible to work as professional interior architects.
