Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences

AUBS is focused on all aspects relevant to the making or transforming of the Built Environment i.e.quality of life, safety, usefulness of the building, the city and surroundings. You start with a broad basis in which all facets of the built environment are dealt with. You will follow courses in Architecture, Building Physics, Structural Engineering, Urban Planning and Real Estate. You learn how to work in teams, and you specialize in a discipline of which the exact profile is partly determined by your own ambitions. Through an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach you will learn to communicate effectively with team members from other disciplines and collaborate on a well-conceived and thoroughly reasoned product. Due to this multidisciplinary way of working, you are able to gain a broad insight in the design of buildings, houses, offices, museums or even entire neighborhoods. You will deepen your knowledge about the technology, design and the construction process. You learn about the cohesion between various disciplines during design projects. You will also discover which discipline best fits you and where you want to develop your knowledge during the second year. During the third year you learn how to combine the various specialisms. For instance, by working in teams to complete multidisciplinary design assignments.
