The programme provides a basis for architectural education in general, as well as a first stage in the preparation for a professional career in architecture.

Students are encouraged to enrich their basic architectural studies through an extensive range of elective courses, both architectural and cross-disciplinary, and to experience other cultures made possible by field trips and student exchange programmes.
