Architecture/Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering to Masters in Architecture

Question
Hey Sir.

I am really concerned about this issue.
Ill be starting my first year of Mechanical Engineering studies after this summer till I get my Bachelor degrees. After that, I am willing to do Masters in Architecture, but I am not sure wheather is this possible or not, if it is, then what Universities accept that, and actually take Mechanical Eng. students to do Masters in Architecture.

Please help me, because I am really confused all around
And thanks for the effective support!

Hi Bilal,

As far as I am aware there are many schools that will accept students that have degrees other than architecture for their masters program.  Also, I generally recommend you attend different schools for each degree since it will give you a more diverse education.  So I doubt you will have a problem finding a program.

Just to be sure, though, you might want to check with a few that you think you'd want to attend.

Good luck!
