The undergraduate program of studies leads to the acquisition of the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Architecture academic degree, a prerequisite for admission in the subsequent studies for acquiring the Diploma of Architect-Engineer or the Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Architecture. The first four semesters introduce the subject through design studios of increasing architectural complexity which develop the students analytical and compositional skills, while the studios in the fifth and sixth semester focus on the urban and the technological respectively. A series of satellite courses in the four basic areas mentioned above begin to accumulate the knowledge needed for the efficient response to the complex demands of any design project. The two design studios in the fourth year allow for choice regarding the specific projects undertaken and together with elective courses offered the student has the opportunity to pursue a deeper investigation into specific areas of interest.
