MAS ETH in Housing
The programme trains architects to understand housing processes and challenges in their broader socio-economic, cultural and political context and to exercise their profession in interdisciplinary and multi-cultural environments.
The MAS focuses on the assessment of housing challenges and on the affordability, effectiveness and sustainability of a wide range of housing and neighbourhood development strategies pursued by municipalities, cooperatives, local governments, non-governmental and governmental authorities and international organisations in different countries and contexts.
The programme aims to contribute to finding solutions to the challenges of housing construction in Switzerland, Europe, and low- and middle-income countries worldwide through high-level multidisciplinary training and research.
The MAS ETH in Housing accepts 10-12 qualified candidates each year. It is primarily, but not exclusively, aimed at professionals with a background in architecture, urban planning, or town planning, but is also open to applicants from other disciplines with an interest in housing.
We are proud to announce that the MAS ETH in Housing has been nominated by ETH Zurich for the KITE AWARD in recognition of our highly innovative Seminar Week: 'The School of Architecture for Reconciliation: Supporting housing cooperatives for peace in post-conflict Colombia.'

“I was promised different perspectives on the topic of housing and hands-on research tools by combining theory with practice. The MAS in Housing team, and my fellow students did not let me down. It was an amazing year that gave me the perspectives and inspiration to refocus. I would recommend it to anyone seeking the same!”Stefania Koller, MSc ETH Architektur, MAS ETH in Housing | Salewski Nater Kretz AG Projektleiterin & erweiterte Geschäftsleitung
