Architecture – a practical study programme

Architecture is considered to be a fascinating and creative field of study that combines art, and science, with designing buildings and different types of spaces. All candidates interested in the design, construction and aesthetics of buildings and their impact on the environment and people will find the course very attractive.

Studying architecture include many different areas, such as:

Architectural Design – the heart of this study programme. Students learn how to design buildings taking into account their functionality and aesthetics.

History and Theory of Architecture – the course during which the history of architecture over the centuries and various theories and concepts are discussed.

Built Structures and Technology – the course teaches the technical aspects of construction, including materials, construction methods, structure and engineering.

Urban and Spatial Planning – develops skills in designing cities, urban and rural areas, and spatial analysis.

Drawing and Computer Design – the course develops the use of traditional and modern tools used in design and visualization.

Warsaw University of Life Sciences develops engineering education

Engineering dynamically evolves as new technology is invented and the society and labour market continue to develop and change. Architecture at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences is a synergistic combination of engineering knowledge, aesthetics and functionalism. The new programme will give an opportunity to create modern and sustainable solutions that meet the expectations of the modern world.
