Degree Transfer Design (Architecture)

3-Year Bachelor's Degree

Program Summary

The Degree Transfer Design (Architecture) program is a pathway course designed for students who want to pursue a degree in architecture but may not meet the direct entry requirements for a full bachelor's program. This program provides a smooth transition into the second year of a university architecture degree, combining academic study with additional language and learning support. During the course, students are introduced to the fundamental principles of architectural design, visual communication, drawing techniques, computer-aided design (CAD), and building technology. It also helps develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential in the field of architecture. Students learn through studio-based projects and practical tasks that mirror real-world architectural challenges. The program is ideal for international students who want to start their academic journey in a supportive environment while getting a solid foundation in design and architecture. Upon successful completion, students can transfer directly into the second year of a bachelor’s degree in architecture
