Architecture courses focus on the art and science of designing buildings, spaces, and environments that are functional, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing. The field combines creativity with technical knowledge, engineering principles, and environmental awareness.
The two primary architecture programs in India are Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) at the undergraduate level and Master of Architecture (M.Arch) at the postgraduate level.
B.Arch is a 5-year professional undergraduate degree regulated by the Council of Architecture (COA). It prepares students to become licensed architects by developing skills in architectural design, construction technology, building services, and urban planning.
The course includes studio work, site visits, workshops, internships, and live design projects, ensuring strong practical exposure.
M.Arch is a 2-year postgraduate degree designed for architecture graduates who want to specialize in advanced areas of architecture. The program emphasizes research, advanced design, and professional expertise.
Popular M.Arch specializations include Urban Design, Landscape Architecture, Sustainable Architecture, Housing, and Architectural Conservation.
