Graduates of the architecture program are set to gain critical thinking and enhance design creativity to take a leadership role in professional practice. Graduates will be qualified to work in architectural design firms on design and tender documents, as well as urban design and detailed planning. Furthermore, they will be qualified to work in the construction industry, building technology, rehabilitation, building conservation, urban context, and urban planning. In addition, they can be enrolled in postgraduate studies at universities or research centers.
Program specialization concentration:
The Architecture Program encourages undergraduates, at the beginning of Level 4, to participate in one of two concentrations that meet professional requirements:
1 Architecture.
2. Urban planning.
These pathways develop specialized abilities and skills that will serve students in and outside the workplace.
1. Architecture Concentration: This track covers students' comprehensive principles, advanced design methods, and technical and professional aspects of designing built environments.
2. Urban Planning concentration: The Urban Planning track aims to expand students' awareness of urban planning principles, enabling them to possess the skills necessary to address urban problems critically and creatively across different scales—from strategic to local. This major also qualifies its students to explore international practices in urban development policies, planning, and management to address current spatial, social, economic, and political transformations in cities.
