|
The programme trains students in the subject of architecture by building on the knowledge and skills proper to Applied Sciences. The ability to carry out a full architectural project is one of the main aims of these studies. This is acquired on parallel lines with learning the sciences and technologies of construction, the theory and history of architectonic forms, representation methods and an ethical positioning supported by Human Sciences. |
Admission conditions|
The study programmes leading to a university degree in Civil Architect-Engineering are accessible to all students holding a Belgian university first study cycle diploma ("candidat") in Civil Architect-Engineering. Holders of a foreign diploma judged to be equivalent, may also have access to these programmes. |
Admission procedure|
The University admission and enrolment procedures are detailed in the section "Access to Studies" on the web page : http://www.ucl.ac.be/etudes/libres/acces.html |
General structure of the programme|
The programme is organised in the form of three years of studies, or six quadrimesters, which lead on from the two years of the first cycle of university studies ("candidature") in Civil Architect-Engineering. The courses, practical exercises and project workshops are grouped together in five subject areas which form a core syllabus : |
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
As from the fourth quadrimester, the students will choose an orientation from among four complementary modules : |
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
This orientation completes the core syllabus of the subject areas and fully involves the students right until the end of the programme. It determines the courses, practical exercises and project workshops to be followed in the context of the complementary module, as well as the topics on which their studies will be based. |

|||||
|
Apprenticeship |
|||||
|
The students are invited to carry out a period of apprenticeship for a minimal length of three weeks during their second study cycle. This apprenticeship represents 3 credits (30 hours) in the overall calculation of the volume of their programme. It needs to be given prior approval by the relevant person on the programme Management Committee and will conclude with a report. It will be ratified by an evaluation indicating that the student "has satisfied/has not satisfied the requirements". |
|||||
|
End of course project |

|
The end of course project consists of an architectural and/or town planning project, the theme of which will relate to the orientation chosen as from the 4th quadrimester. It may also consist of a theoretical, experimental or critical study from the orientations on offer. |
