BA/BS in Architecture

The Architecture programme trains students in building design, architectural planning and interior design for the urban construction sector. Coursework covers design fundamentals, the history of Chinese and foreign architecture, structural mechanics, building construction and residential and public building design, alongside urban planning principles. Teaching follows a practice-led model that links studio work, campus workshops, partner design firms and staff research projects. Students are encouraged to take part in architectural design competitions at institutional, provincial and national level, and in green building projects. Graduates typically move into architectural design institutes, architecture studios, property developers and interior decoration firms, and some continue to postgraduate study in architecture or urban design. Students also work in a model-making room, a woodworking workshop and a surveying training base, building skills in physical models and measured drawings before moving to full design projects.
