  • Building Construction and Construction Management

Program Requirements

After completing the integrated curriculum, students are required to apply for a major (Architectural Engineering or Architecture) at the end of the fourth semester.

• The allocation of majors is based on the student's academic performance and preferences.
• The principle of allocation is to maintain a 1:1 ratio between Architectural Engineering and Architecture majors.
• If one major has more applicants than the other, the allocation will be based on academic performance, with a maximum of 60% of students allocated to one major.

Graduation Requirements

The program has specific graduation requirements that students must fulfill to complete their degree.
