Students are educated to become specialized
architects with enough comprehensive
knowledge to manage work and projects in
the building process. They have the scientific
capacity to approach both the conceptual
and technical issues faced in architecture
providing their own solutions to the construction,
conversion, and modernization of buildings.
In addition to designing architectural plans and
projects for buildings, they can also work on the
buildings interiors and exteriors. Attention in the
curricula is also paid to questions of environment-friendly and low-energy architecture.
