The Bachelor program in
Architecture, leading to B.Arch. (Bachelor of Architecture) degree is a five
years course that aims to provide systematic knowledge and skills in planning,
design and conservation of buildings and other built forms with concerns for
aesthetics, comfort, durability, social responsiveness and integration with
natural and manmade landscapes. The area of instruction covers a spectrum of
courses relating to architectural design and planning, structural design,
landscape management, interior design and conservation and restoration of
historical monuments and urban spaces and built forms. The program has been
designed to meet international standards in Architecture education, preparing
the students to become competent professionals for work in Nepal and abroad.
The students have the opportunity to gain competence in both hand-drawing and
computer graphics to enable them to excel in the competitive professional
environment. A full semester apprentice in an architect's office helps
preparing them to take professional challenges before graduation. The final
semester is dedicated to a project work wherein students are expected to
accomplish, independently, architectural design, involving research and
analysis.
