With all of the changes in the modern world and the advent of the information society, the field of architecture has gradually begun to broaden out. Ideal man-made environments on limited land area, rational bridge systems, the redevelopment of the urban landscape | in a sense we are entering an age when we have to meet a great deal of change. The world of architecture will need architectural technicians and researchers who are flexible and imaginative, who are able to rethink pre-existing concepts. The Masterfs Degree in Architectural Engineering is suitable for those who wish to shoulder the burden of changing the world into the future. Students study planning, design, architectural environment, traditional wood architecture and architectural structure on our Architectural Studies strand, and foundation engineering environmental engineering, civil engineering planning, water engineering and structural engineering on our Civil Engineering strand. |
