It consists of a three year Bachelor of Science degree (for Part I) followed by a two year study that confers a Bachelor of Architecture degree that is recognised professionally as Part II. Between the two parts, the University requires student to undertake a period of practical training ranging from 6 months to one year. The two parts, though conferring two different Bachelors degree, at the end of the third and fifth study year maybe one continuous process.
