The six-year curriculum in architectural studies offers a level of education that allows the student to license as a professional after graduation.
A structured sequencing of courses is included which provides for a gradual interactive development of required knowledge and skills.
The first four years of the formation of the Architect includes as fundamental core the learning of the mechanisms to design and construct works of architecture in their different contexts and complexities. In addition to the specific teaching of the architectural project, as a core structure of the curriculum, knowledge of technology, history, morphology and urbanism define the content of the career.
