Abstract
Research is considered as an integral part of the master's program with the involvement experience of leading architectural schools. The relevance of the research component is regarded within training and real design. Theoretical and practical approaches were revealed in forming research skills on master's level. The theoretical approach includes: 1) establishing a theoretical base for the research procedures; 2) getting acquainted with the system of present research methods and search for new ones; 3) analysis of precedents (previous analogs). Practical mastery of research skills takes place in process of solving concrete design tasks (course projects and/or Master's thesis work). Some examples of the implementation of these approaches in educational programs of architectural schools in the world were presented in the article.
