Architecture (in English)

Introduction
Architecture is taught in a different way to the majority of other subjects. Most of your studies will be based in the studio for design work, or tutorials and 'crits' (critiques). The crit, a common term in art and design education, is where you present your design project work to tutors (and other students) who provide feedback. You will also attend history, theory & technology lectures and computer aided design tutorials, have essays to write, site visits to go on, and visits to buildings and places of interest.  

Why Study Architecture?
Architecture is becoming an increasingly popular subject. Combining art, science and technology, studying architecture can help to develop personal skills, communication skills and professional qualities. Students find that the subject provides a balance of mathematical, logical thinking processes with modern technology and the creative arts, allowing for an extremely varied degree. Once qualified, many architects work for themselves on a self-employed basis, or together in a partnership, similar to Law firms, although some do work for larger companies on fixed salaries.

Career outcomes
Graduates can find employment in the fields of architecture and building design. Upon completion of the Master of Architecture and the required period of practical experience, graduates are eligible to sit for registration as an architect.
