Architecture and Urban Planning

Architecture

With its over 60-year long history, this is the longest living departments not just in the faculty, but also in the entire university. The department is responsible for the bulk of BA/BSc and MA programmes. The comprehensive BA/BSc is aimed at training capable professionals, whilst the MA is aimed at training senior architects who are capable of managing and coordinating large-scale projects.

Studio teaching being the backbone of both courses, there are over 50 units in BA/BSs and 18 in MA dedicated to studio teaching. They will work in conjunction with theoretical courses in order to offer a more comprehensive insight into the discipline. The latter also act as eye-openers allowing young architects to be prepared to confront any new professional challenge, with the MA dissertation being the culmination of them all.
