The Master’s in Architecture and Urban Design (UDA) at the University of Tokyo is an English‑taught graduate program within the Department of Architecture that focuses on interdisciplinary design research connecting architecture, urbanism, engineering, and computation. It aims to cultivate creative and analytical professionals capable of addressing contemporary challenges in built environments by combining design practice with theoretical and critical inquiry into social, cultural, technological, and environmental aspects of architecture and cities. The program emphasizes advanced architectural and urban design studios, research projects, and collaborations that explore emerging discourses on architecture and urbanism and prepare graduates for careers in architectural practice, urban planning, research, and policy engagement on a global scale.
