The Architecture Programme provides students with a comprehensive set of skills, competences and knowledge with the aim of preparing them for a career in Architecture.
The objective is to create critical thinkers, who are intellectually acute, socially aware, and technically skilled architects that can meaningfully contribute to contemporary architectural discourse. A strong design-based education equips students with both a hands-on approach and advanced knowledge and understanding of cutting-edge digital tools and technologies. Global issues are addressed, along with local conditions of culture, climate, the local industry and social needs. Ecological and sustainable thinking are highly valued, providing the necessary tools of context, comprehension and application of social, environmental and cultural aspects. The programme caters to diversity, enabling students to prepare complex design projects of various scales and in diverse contexts.
The programme acknowledges that design teaching is central to architectural education and is characterized by a strong emphasis on critical thinking, on positive and constructive reasoning and rationality, and on creative and reflective thought. Design is considered as the core skill of the architect. The programme develops around five thematic headings: design, technology, history and theory, communication and management & practice. Design projects aim to integrate all thematic positions into the process of ‘design thinking’ and to develop the students’ skill of combining and assimilating complex and multiple components of information and knowledge into the project proposal.
Following the completion of the 5-year cycle of studies (300ECTS) students are awarded an Integrated Master in Architecture (MArch). Students may choose to graduate in year 4 (following the completion of 240ECTS) with a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture (BAArch).
Graduates of the programme are well prepared for a labour market orientation and can pursue a professional career in architectural practice. They are also well equipped for further postgraduate studies or an academic career.
The programme is accredited by the CYQAA and has been designed in accordance with the European Commission’s Architects Directive. It is recognized by the Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber (ETEK – Επιστημονικό Τεχνικό Επιμελητήριο Κύπρου) and the European Commission.

Academic Admission
The minimum admission requirement to an undergraduate programme of study is a recognized High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) or equivalent internationally recognized qualification(s). Students with a lower HSLC grade than 7.5/10 or 15/20 or equivalent depending on the grading system of the country issuing the HSLC are provided with extra academic guidance and monitoring during the first year of their studies.
An additional admission requirement for the Department of Architecture is the submission of a portfolio and an interview with faculty members of the Department. The portfolio is required in order to demonstrate the student’s creative ability and skills which may not be reflected in school examination results. The portfolio can include examples of any creative projects carried out previously by the applicants, such as; artwork, design projects, photography, technical drawings, sketches, graphics etc. Portfolios are assessed for creative ability, drawing skills, an indication of spatial or technical understanding, expression through drawing/visual media and other skills demonstrating the imagination, awareness and thinking abilities of the prospective student. Together with the high school grade and student interview an overall assessment is made of each student assessing their appropriateness for the course.
