A master’s degree at this level is for applicants who already have a first degree and want advanced study in Arts, Design & Architecture. It suits students aiming for deeper subject knowledge, more specialised practice, or a later move into research or professional work.

All institutions in this ranking are public, so the main differences are in place and programme choice rather than ownership. Several are based in Beijing, while others are in cities including Changsha, Wuhan, Changchun and Chengdu; one is in a smaller-town setting tied to forestry, and fees are only useful where a university publishes them directly, so confirm the cost with the university before you apply.

Before applying, verify the exact programme title, the language of instruction, tuition, application deadline, and whether the degree is delivered full time or part time. Also confirm entry requirements, portfolio or interview expectations, and visa-related documents with the university, because those details decide whether you are eligible and able to complete the application.
