DATE

In the field of architecture and design, acquiring business skills is critical to professional success. While creative talent and technical mastery are essential, understanding how to run a business, develop strategies, and carry out projects efficiently can make the difference between a promising career and one that stagnates.
Business skills enable architects and designers to manage budgets, lead teams, negotiate with clients and suppliers, and ensure the profitability of their projects.
In an increasingly competitive world, having knowledge in areas such as marketing, project management and finance is crucial to standing out. These skills not only help to develop one’s own studies or start a business, but also facilitate adaptation to leadership roles within large firms or design companies. In addition, knowing how to optimize resources, create contact networks and understand market needs allows professionals to better align themselves with client expectations and the economic challenges of each project.
Ultimately, the combination of creativity and entrepreneurial skills expands career opportunities, allowing architects and designers to become not only creators of spaces, but also leaders in the development and management of their own projects.
These skills can be acquired in the MArch Advanced Master’s programme in Architecture, Design and Business Administration, which has a specific MBA module that runs throughout the course and features authoritative voices so that students can learn from the best profiles in the sector.
