This is a five year full-time course which prepares students wishing to make their careers in Architecture. The course covers a wide range of subjects and aims at a synthesis of knowledge gained from the use of these subjects in architectural design projects culminating in a Final Year Thesis in the design of a major building. Students are required to gain professional experience in architectural office practice during the summer vacations and, in this way, support their study and their ability to work individually, or as members of a team. The qualification is for the profession of Architect.
Architects are concerned with the design of buildings and supervision of building projects.
They may practice in a personal professional capacity, or in employment in private and public sector organisations. The field of practice is quite extensive in Ireland and abroad and may offer alternatives of general practice or specialisation throughout a career. Some graduates spend time abroad to gain wider and more varied design experience. Duration 5 years full-time. Location DIT Bolton Street.
