PhD in Architecture

The PhD in Architecture is a four-year research program offering opportunity to investigate a specific architectural topic in real depth. It aims to cultivate academics with international and forward-looking perspectives in the frontier of architecture. The graduates are capable of conducting scientific and interdisciplinary research independently and systematically, and are competent to resolve complex engineering and technology problems in architectural design and project.

Students benefit from a wide variety of research opportunities in four broad research themes include

Architectural Design and Theory

Architectural History and Heritage Conservation

Building and Engineering Technology

Urban Design

Core courses include

Frontier of Architecture

Frontier of Urban Planning

Frontier of Landscape Architecture

International Academic Communication, etc.

PhD in Urban Planning

The PhD in Urban Planning is a four-year research program that aims to cultivate scholars for positions in universities, research institutes, governmental organizations and planning firms with solid knowledge and in-depth expertise in urban planning. The graduates are competent to keep up with the frontier of theoretical research and engineering practice in urban-related fields, and carry out scientific and interdisciplinary research at home and abroad.

Students benefit from a wide variety of research opportunities in seven broad research themes include

Human Settlements in Mountainous Regions

Urban History and Heritage Conservation

Regional and Urban Spatial Planning

Urban Ecology and Planning Technology

Urban Morphology

Community Planning

Planning Policy and Management

Core courses include

Frontier of Urban Planning

Frontier of Architecture

Frontier of Landscape Architecture

PhD in Landscape Architecture

The PhD in Landscape Architecture is a four-year research program focusing

on cultivating talents for future careers as teachers, researchers, policy-makers, planners and designers in and near the field of landscape architecture. It provides a strong foundation for undertaking scientific and interdisciplinary research and equips students with the theoretical and methodological expertise to address important and cutting-edge contemporary issues.

Students benefit from a wide variety of research opportunities in four broad research themes include

Landscape Architecture History and Heritage Conservation

Landscape Planning and Design

Ecological Restoration and Plant Application

Landscape Architecture Technology

Core courses include

Frontier of Landscape Architecture

Frontier of Architecture

Frontier of Urban Planning

International Academic Communication, etc.

We also provide three engineering doctoral programs of D.Eng. Architecture, D.Eng. Urban Planning and D.Eng. Landscape Architecture, which have a much deeper industrial focus and aim to cultivate talents who pursue professional rather than academic careers.
