Student Reviews
Representative reviews"Genuinely worthwhile"
The course has exceeded my expectations. The best part: the cohort are bright and motivated, which makes the learning environment great. If I'm honest, first-year classes can be quite large. On the city — weekend skiing / hiking access is a genuine selling point. Overall, if you're considering Master in Architecture at Università della Svizzera italiana, I'd say go for it.

"Exceeded expectations"
Honestly, one of the best decisions I've made. The best part: access to facilities (workshop, equipment, specialist software) is genuinely first-rate.

"Highly recommend"
The programme genuinely lives up to its reputation. The best part: the cohort are bright and motivated, which makes the learning environment great. If I'm honest, a few modules feel under-resourced compared to the flagship ones. On the city — multilingual environment — you'll leave with more than just your degree. Overall, if you're considering Master in Architecture at Università della Svizzera italiana, I'd say go for it.
