COURSE CURRICULUM

The program structure consists of a total of 160 credit points designed to provide comprehensive academic and professional training in architecture and urban transformation. Out of the total requirement, 140 credit points are dedicated to core subjects, which form the foundation of the degree and focus on advanced architectural design, urban transformation studios, construction technology, sustainability, professional practice, and contemporary architectural theory. These core units are intended to develop technical expertise, critical thinking, creative problem-solving abilities, and practical knowledge required for professional architectural practice. Students engage in intensive studio-based learning where they work on complex urban and architectural projects that reflect real-world challenges and contemporary global issues. In addition to the core units, students must complete 20 credit points through alternate subjects or electives. These alternate subjects allow students to explore specialised interests, broaden interdisciplinary knowledge, and enhance individual career goals by selecting units aligned with their academic and professional aspirations. The balanced structure of core and elective components ensures that graduates gain both in-depth professional competencies and flexible learning opportunities. Overall, the 160-credit-point structure is carefully designed to equip students with the advanced design, research, and analytical skills necessary for successful careers in architecture, urban development, and higher academic research pathways.
