Curriculum

The five year curriculum is based on a two-phased degree Diploma in architecture (300 ECTS), and divided into the three years Bachelor’s programme plus the two years Master’s programme. For the first three years the students follow a fixed program, including basics of the subjects to be studied on the master level. In the first year of master level studies the student selects between the three orientations available: (1) Planning and Urban Design, (2) Building Design and (3) Architectural Design. The aim of the educational programme is to provide the students with practical skills needed in the profession and to encourage them to develop a personal relationship with architecture and design.

Language

Bachelor level courses are all taught in the Finnish language only. On Masters’ level teaching in English is provided in the International Master's Degree Programme in Architectural Design, both for degree students and exchange students of the Department of Architecture.
