THE IGP COMMITTEE
The Integrated Graduate Program (IGP) comprises a coherent suite of academic offerings, including one Diploma program, three Master’s programs, and one Doctoral program. These are designed not as discrete tracks but as an interconnected system, internally aligned within the College and outwardly engaged with global academic and professional communities. In this regard, the IGP advances a unified yet adaptable
framework for graduate education.
IGP PRINCIPLES
Guided by a commitment to meaningful internationalization, the IGP is grounded in the principles of openness, flexibility, and dynamism. These principles position the program to respond to emerging global challenges, evolving knowledge systems, and the diverse academic and professional trajectories of its graduate students. Collectively, they ensure that the IGP remains both globally relevant and locally Responsive.
OPENNESS
is reflected in the provision of program tracks accessible to individuals without formal training in architecture or landscape architecture who seek to engage in design- and environment-related research. It responds to both institutional demand and academic supply, while facilitating the integration of theories and concepts drawn from diverse disciplinary perspectives.
FLEXIBILITY
is embodied in the breadth of research directions made possible through customized curricula tailored to specific research interests and objectives.
DYNAMISM
is expressed through general studio and special topics courses that may be continuously reconfigured in response to emerging research issues and evolving academic concerns.
