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.

    Architectural Journey at University Sapienza

    I was enrolled in the architecture program at the University Sapienza in Rome, and my academic journey here has been nothing short of inspiring. From the stunning historical backdrop of Rome to the innovative curriculum, this university has truly shaped my passion for architecture in the most profound way.
    The faculty members are not just educators; they are mentors who are deeply invested in nurturing creativity and critical thinking. Their wealth of knowledge, coupled with a genuine enthusiasm for the subject, creates an engaging learning environment.
    The architecture program at Sapienza is well-structured, offering a perfect blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application. The multicultural student body adds a unique dimension to discussions, enriching my understanding of architecture from various cultural viewpoints.
    One of the highlights of my academic experience here is the encouragement to think innovatively.

    Not recommended

    Faculty of Architecture (La Sapienza University) at the Valle Giulia headquarters. University well connected and well served. There is also access for the disabled, disabled toilets and disabled parking spaces available, but there is no real bar, in fact for us students there are only two machines available. The student secretariat is a mess, with unfriendly staff. The professors can’t make you passionate about the subjects, they don’t even explain how to use Autodesk programs, we were born to learn for them. The rest of the environment is beautiful, the university is located in a wonderful place.

    Rome, the fascinating monumental city

    I am enrolled in a master’s degree program in architecture(conservation). The courses are interesting and the professors are really helpful. The city is rich with touristic sites which are very nice. You really can’t get bored here.

    my reason for applying

    Hello, I’m Dicle, I’m 25 years old and I’m an architect. After I finished school, I decided to do my master’s in Italy. The reason I chose Rome is because I care about architectural conservation and Rome is a unique city for that. I am studying at La Sapienza University and I am quite satisfied. Our teachers are very caring and successful people. I recommend that you do a master’s degree and especially in a country other than your own. Best regards…

    Architecture in Rome ?? THE DREAM.

    When you say Architecture, you think of Rome immediately. I choose LaSapienza for an exchange program this year to check that one out of my checklist. I must admit, it was the best idea ever! LaSapienza is the most prestigious university in Italy and a big landmark university in Europe. The campus is spread out around the city, with different faculties in different locations, but the main campus generalizes a big portion of faculties. I love the faculty of Architecture and the different masters they offer, the only thing that can get better is the university communication / administrative side of it, but at the same time, there are 112000 students enrolled. Also being someone who plays sports a lot, The sports center of the university is far away, there is a direct bus line from the main campus to the sports center, but still a very long ride (1hour-1hour and 30min). Overall, I am enjoying this University so much, and would definitely recommend it to any architecture student!

    high academic level in Italy

    It is a high ranked university in Italy and Europe. I am really interested in the friendly atmosphere and university facilities. The academic level is acceptable too. An important advantage of studying architecture here is that not only you will learn from the academic environment of the university but you will also experience amazing architectural views of Rome.
    If you have a plan to study in Italy, I recommend it.

    Hello! I hope it's ok to ask, I'm doing an exchange program in Sapienza next year and I'm an Archi student, but I couldn't figure out the location of the department! In some sites it seems to be located in the main campus, but other times it seems to be in a completely deferent location and a separate campus. if you can enlighten me about that it'll help me a lot!
