The follow-up master's study program Architecture and Urban Development is based on:
- Act No. 111/1998 Coll., On Higher Education Institutions and on Amendments to Other Acts (Act on Higher Education Institutions),
- Act 360/1992 Coll., On the exercise of the profession of authorized architects and on the exercise of the profession of authorized engineers and technicians active in construction,
- Authorization Rules of the Czech Chamber of Architects.
- European Directive 2005/36 / EC on the recognition of professional qualifications.
It responds to changes in the performance of the profession of architect, which occur both abroad and at home. It complements the unsatisfied requirements for the expanding demands of professional qualifications. To do this, it uses the possibilities of the professional background of the parent faculty. It expands the range of the study of architecture with disciplines not yet offered, especially from the social sciences and economics. The study is in accordance with the Act on Higher Education Institutions four-semester (two-year), ending with a diploma thesis. An important part of the study program is also professional practice with future employers in response to the requirements of the profession and the result of the assessment of tertiary education in the Czech Republic by OECD experts. A graduate of any bachelor's degree in architecture can apply to study this study program.
After successful completion of the final state examination, the graduate is entitled to use the title of Ing. arch.

At the Faculty of Civil Engineering, BUT, barrier-free access to all teaching rooms is currently provided. However, students must be physically fit to be qualified as a civil engineer. In practically oriented laboratory teaching, they must be able to operate measuring instruments and similar laboratory equipment independently without endangering themselves or their surroundings.
BUT provides support to students with specific needs, for details see Guideline 11/2017 (www.vutbr.cz/uredni-deska/international-documents-and-documents/-d141841/uplne-zneni-smernice-c-11- 2017-p147550).

Students are provided with information concerning the accessibility of study programs with respect to the specific needs of the applicant, information about the architectural accessibility of individual faculties and university parts, about accommodation at the BUT dormitory, about the possibilities of adapting the admission procedure and adapting the study itself. Other services of the Center for Students with Special Educational Needs also include interpreting and rewriting services, or assistance services - guiding, spatial orientation, in order to enable these students to demonstrate their skills and knowledge in the same way as other students. This is done through the so-called adaptation of study, ie by appropriate adjustment of the study regime, which cannot be understood as a simplification of the content of study or relief of study obligations.

Graduates from the consecutive master’s programme Architecture and Settlement Development can continue their studies in a doctoral study programme with a similar focus, where they may gain the title Ph.D. With regard to their language skills in the area of their specialisation, graduates may study for their doctorate both in the Czech Republic and abroad.
