Descriptions

Construction Architecture
The curriculum of the degree programme for Construction Architecture is skills-based. The skills are based on the competencies of the construction architect education. The curriculum emphasizes especially design skills. Student has a strong role as an investigative learner.

In the Construction Architecture degree program, studies are based on phenomena, i.e. through the conventions of working life and community project learning. We develop ecosystems of building design activities - we study and learn together. Working as a community produces collaborative intelligence and learning teams of which members are experts with interaction skills, but also self-directed. The student's role as an investigative learner is significant.

The curriculum comprise:
- supportive studies
- professional studies
- project studies
- optional studies
- work placement and
- a Bachelor’s thesis.

Optional studies
The student is able to choose elective studies from the courses offered in the degree programme for construction architects or from the general elective studies basket in Metropolia UAS.

International activities
The student has an opportunity to apply to international exchange programs or perform an internship abroad.

Working life cooperation
Courses include cooperation with design offices, construction companies, construction industry and public administration. The project studies include an Innovation Project (10 credits) which is carried out with the working life.

Teaching language of some courses may be English.

Development

Curricula in Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences are competence-based.
Bachelor in Architecture curriculum is based on the competences made by the national cooperation with Tampere University of Applied Sciences, Oulu University of Applied Sciences and Savonia University of Applied Sciences.
Bachelor in Architecture curriculum is presented to the representatives of the working life.
