ARCHITECTURE

About the program

The work of an architect is to design a person’s living space. Architects design individual buildings as well as entire neighborhoods or cities. They are responsible for the quality of life in the designed spaces. In view of these requirements, the architect’s education must be based on learning about the various conditions of human functioning in space, and then selecting appropriate solutions and tools to meet their needs.

Architect is a profession of public trust[1]. This means that its practice involves serving people’s personal needs and the public interest, and is subject to the norms of professional ethics and the standard of education specified by the Regulation of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of July 18^th, 2019.

A graduate of the Architecture program is prepared to start independent creative work in the profession of architecture and urban planning, focused on a personal design career. We offer a study plan compliant with the requirements specified by the standards of education with a practical profile, and introduce our students to the world of professional architects already during the studies. After obtaining a Master’s Degree in architectural engineering, you can start applying for an exam at the Polish Chamber of Architects for a license to design without limitations.
