Programme overview

The Master of Architectural Studies (MAS) in Digital Creativity explores how computational design, scripting, and algorithmic processes can transform architectural creativity. Inspired by developments in parametric and generative design, students investigate new ways of thinking, modelling, and making architecture. Teaching integrates theory and hands-on experimentation, encouraging students to use algorithms, simulation, and digital workflows as creative tools rather than constraints. Through this process, they explore nonlinear, adaptive, and evolutionary design systems drawn from nature and computation. Graduates gain advanced digital literacy and conceptual understanding, preparing them to contribute to emerging fields in computational design, digital fabrication, and architectural innovation. All degree programmes are validated by the University of Glasgow.
