This program trains students to apply their complex knowledge in the areas of architecture and urban planning, as well as in the field of environment formation in general (architectural design, town and country planning, preservation of built heritage, structural design, construction work, management and administration tasks, consulting with authorities, teaching, etc.) Within the professional field of architecture, students acquire individual expertise in a specific field and can apply for admission to the DLA & PhD degree program based on their specialization. During the first five to six semesters students are provided with the groundwork in both human artistic and real engineering fields, and during the remaining semesters they can acquire special knowledge closely related to their qualification - in this phase creative work and its final result, the completed work are dominant.
