master + of + architecture
The meaning is directly compositional: 'master' (a master's degree) combined with 'of' and 'architecture' clearly yields 'a master's degree in architecture.' This follows a common academic naming pattern found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Master of Architecture comes from old times when a master was the most skilled worker and a architecture was the work of the 'chief builder' who planned buildings. So the title shows advanced study and says the person is trained to be a professional architect.
