Master in Architecture

About master in architecture at BAS

Bergen School of Architecture was established in 1986 in Bergen as an educational alternative to the two state educations in Norway. The school was approved by the Ministry of Education in 1990 and graduated its first batch of civil architects in the spring of 1991.
BAS educates masters in architecture, a five-year continuous study, with a scope of 300 credits. BAS is a private foundation and one of three approved architectural studies in Norway.
Please not that you will have to pay tuition fee, for EU/EEA/EFTA citizens the amount is NOK 40.620,- per academic year. If you are Non EU/EEA/EFTA the amount is NOK 307.234,- per academic year. In addition comes a fee of NOK 690,- to the Student Welfare Organization and ca NOK 300,- in copyright fee. Exchange students are exempt from paying tution fee.

Architects with a degree as a civil architect or master’s degree in architecture can become members of the National Association of Norwegian Architects and Norwegian Union of Norwegian Architects. Architect is not a protected title in Norway, and the title can thus be used freely by everyone. Only trained architects (civil architects or masters in architecture) can become members of the Norwegian Association of Architects. Architects who use the title architect MNAL are thus trained architects.
