In this context, Universities have a special responsibility considering the additional multiplication effect of the emerging contents in the training of new generations of professionals and the need to transfer actions into the practice of sustainability.

Study in this area shows, specific programme needed to establish for architecture student to educate for sustainable architecture. This study suggest that the best stage to establish programme to achieve sustainable building, could be in Master of Architecture Degree. Since the programme envisages different types of knowledge and activities like understand of design process and building construction methods, which are usually training and practicing in current BA (bachelor architecture) education system. Therefore, this study shows that in order to respond to these requirements, both on innovative academic contents and practices related to sustainability need to establish and define some courses and research methods in master of architecture degree.
