Bachelor in Architectural Studies at IE University
The Bachelor in Architectural Studies course at IE University equips students with essential skills for architecture practice, with consideration of social and environmental factors.
The Bachelor in Architectural Studies is a five-year program that prepares students to transform the world and to make meaningful environments.
With a project-based approach to learning and a diverse body of faculty and students, the program synthesises creative, technical, environmental and social considerations and is driven by a forward-looking and entrepreneurial spirit.
We teach our students to master the essential tools and skills of the architect, while simultaneously encouraging them to think broadly and creatively about how these tools and skills might be used in the future.
Thanks to IE School of Architecture and Design's international recognition, this bachelor's degree has an exclusive internship program that will allow you to gain invaluable work experience in some of the most prestigious studios worldwide.
The program is also informed by NAAB (National Architectural Accrediting Board) standards, reflecting IE School of Architecture and Design's commitment to internationally recognised architectural education and professional preparation.
