What is an Architecture Degree?

Architecture is a specialisation preferred by many young people who love solving problems, have a passion for creativity, or an innovative imagination ready to be shown off.

Over the years, it has become a very popular speciality. Young people are aware of the importance and diversity of Architecture, but also of the need for a permanent practice, as most Architecture courses aim at the practical part, to implement feasible structures not only on paper, through sketches, but also in real life.

Architects can choose to grow in all markets or follow a single specialisation, such as Landscape Architect, Resident Architect, Urban Designer, Green Design Architect or Interior Designer, according to their preferences.

Benefits of an Architecture Degree

Usually, a major reason that motivates students to study Architecture is the possibility of having an impact on their community. How do they do this? By exploring the world, analysing people’s work on constructions and looking for answers to identified problems, they become more creative, more open to new things, bringing a new vision to the world.

Critical thinking skills are constantly being developed by graduates who study Architecture because they get the opportunity to visualise the structures before they are made.

Upon completion of studies, there are many possibilities for employment, and salaries can be generous. A particular increase in the employment rate is expected to be in the Green Design field. This requires creating environmentally-friendly constructs that do not harm nature and generate sustainability. 

 

Architecture Degree Structure

Young people must have a university degree in Architecture to pursue a career in that field, that is an Architecture Bachelor or Master of Architecture. Often, undergraduate programmes last 5 years, and Master programmes last between 2 and 3 years, depending on the chosen university and the form of education followed. One notable thing is that Master programmes are often for those who have not completed a Bachelor’s specialisation, and that is why the course component can be similar to the Bachelor’s. As far as Doctoral programmes are concerned, the duration is 3 years, and the architects work on research projects.

At the same time, it should be mentioned that the United States and other territories have introduced a professional license Architect Registration Examination. This is a mandatory exam which tests the candidate’s skills, abilities and knowledge. In the UK, for example, the final registration to become an architect is regulated by the Architects Registration Board.

Although the list of courses may differ from one country to another, some of the most important modules for a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture are Computer Assisted Drawing (CAD), Physics, Visualisation, Science, and Technology. 

Throughout their studies, students can take part in various internship programmes or choose a tutor architect to work with. In this way, they get a better idea of what this profession is about in practice and gain the necessary experience needed for their professional development.

    Potential for a good programme

    The university organized competitions and guest lectures with industry partners which provided good exposure. What was lacking was more structure and a clear understanding of purpose behind the curriculum.

    Study Trips

    The one year internship was a great opportunity for majority of the students to find jobs immediately after graduation.
    The study trips were organized to bring in international exposure but more care could be taken to enhance the student experience by carefully planning the day activities for urban workshops.

    Lack of structured courses

    The program was easy to follow and understand. At the same time it didn’t cover many topics and aspects or professional architectural practices. Neither did it enable us to explore creativity at its best. Moreover, being a private university, the faculty were biased and supported a few selected students which ruined opportunities for many talented students.

    My path to a dream come true career

    I first fell in love with architecture when I visited Manipal University, Dubai Campus. It only grew from there through my journey of five years with the faculty and classes and projects. The university itself stays a special place in my heart with all the people I’ve met and the way it’s changed my life.

    The design curriculum was challenging, pushing boundaries and we were exposed to practising professionals to guide us through our design and career. It was a great experience.

    I would definitely say the overall syllabus can be modified to further identify the trends of the current world and architecture to better support the students, walking into the real world.

    Bachelor of Architecture

    The program was intensive but good, we learned a lot but it could have been structured better. The professors were good, but the content could have been more relevant and interesting and the projects could have been more spread out.
