Degree in Architecture (5 yrs)

Generally speaking, Architecture is regarded as the space planning, starting in the creative-project phase according to some determining factors and needs of a programme, and ending up in the materialization phase of an architectural work. The teaching of the degree in Architecture is based on the Project. The knowledge learnt will be the core for project development and work management in Architecture, Urban Planning and Territory Arrangement.

The UAX university boasts facilities, classrooms, workshops and labs, equipped with the leading technology, voice and data networks, etc., making it possible for a better learning, both in scientific-technical and graphic or project subjects.
