The Architecture course lays emphasis on the fundamentals of design, residential, commercial, and hospitality space planning, as well as aesthetic and functional elements. This helps in the creation of spaces, the elements of which define the quality and aesthetic taste of the designer. -

The programme provides a thorough grounding in the subject of architecture, including a portfolio of design, technical and theoretical courses covering all aspects of architectural theory and practice. The course has been designed with reference to the RIBA criteria, providing students with a well-rounded and internationally respected curriculum.
