MA Architectural History and Research at CEPT University, Ahmedabad Offline Course

This program trains built environment professionals to critically research, visualise and write about how architecture is produced, inhabited, symbolised, and represented, both globally and particularly the South Asian context. 

Architectural discourses from within South Asia are newly emerging even though the region has been a subject of extensive scholarly exploration. There is a distinct opening up of professional opportunities through the expansion of publishing, new curatorial platforms, emerging heritage concerns, and the rapidly expanding education sector, highlighting the need for a new generation of critical-creative architectural historians and theoreticians. Responding to these developments, the Faculty of Architecture at CEPT University offers India’s only dedicated program on architectural history and research.

The program aims:

1. To train the next generation of built environment scholars to describe, analyse, and critique buildings and settlements, and architectural practice;
2. To equip students with skills and abilities to curate narratives to engage with both academic and non-academic audiences, as well as produce high quality academic writing;
3. To provide training required to carry out doctoral research.
