Program Description

The bachelor in Architecture (BAArch) provides students with a comprehensive set of skills, competencies, and knowledge with the aim of preparing them for a career in Architecture.

The objective is to create critical thinkers, who are intellectually acute, socially aware, and technically skilled architects that can meaningfully contribute to contemporary architectural discourse. A strong design-based education equips students with both a hands-on approach and advanced knowledge and understanding of cutting-edge digital tools and technologies. Global issues are addressed, along with local conditions of culture, climate, local industry, and social needs.
