Launch a high‑impact architecture career with an intensive, practice‑first diploma that blends design studios, construction know‑how, and industry software into one job‑ready program. Build real projects from concept to working drawings while mastering AutoCAD, Revit, BIM workflows, 3D modeling, rendering, estimation, and professional communication—then graduate with a portfolio that opens doors to internships, placements, and entrepreneurship.
What You’ll Learn
Apply architectural fundamentals, proportion, and technical drawing to develop clear concepts and studio presentations.
Specify materials and detailing for buildable, climate‑responsive design solutions aligned to site and codes.
Produce coordinated drawings: plans, sections, elevations, working drawings, and schedules that contractors can execute.
Use AutoCAD for precision drafting; model, coordinate, and document in Revit with BIM processes and families.
Create persuasive 3D models and renders to communicate design intent to clients and stakeholders.
Estimate quantities and costs, and understand cash flow and controls for project viability.
Communicate with clients, lead teams, and present clearly with professional soft skills.
Detailed Modules
