In August 2009, USAP
started its own B.Arch. degree program at the University campus. This is
in addition to conducting the program for affiliated institutes. The
B.Arch. program of USAP is its core activity. The school is in the
process of developing Post Graduate and Ph.D. Programs along with active
consultancy and research.
Academic Program
The USAP usually commences its academic program in the month of August
every year. The duration of the B.Arch. program is 5 years.
Structure of the B.Arch. Program
The broad objective of the program is to impart both theoretical
knowledge and practical skills to students to prepare them for a
professional career in the field of architecture. Much of the
theoretical knowledge is gained in application and research mode being
integrated into practical / studio and seminar activity based courses.
The program is also designed to meet the guidelines of the Council of
Architecture for B.Arch. degree that meets the eligibility criteria for
registration with the COA as an “Architect”. The courses are divided
into two broad streams:
Core Courses
Core Courses represent the central learning of the discipline.
Considering that architecture is a synthesizing discipline that
integrates many fields of knowledge, emphasis is given to “learning by
doing” or learning through application. This is reflected in the
structure of the broad stream stated above. The learning of
Architectural Design, Building Construction and Drawing and
Communication are principally learned in this mode. Supplementary formal
knowledge about technical aspects of building as well as abstract
aspects of architectural thought that draw upon other related
disciplines of humanities and the Arts, are learned in a “theory” mode.
Elective
Courses
The first four years of the B.Arch. program devotes some credits in each
year to Elective Courses that enable students to develop specialized
skills or broaden their knowledge beyond the core subjects. These
Elective Courses also reflect diverse technical and cultural
developments of current relevance, and provide access to valuable
specialized expertise or knowledge available with the faculty of the
institution or in the city. These courses will be seminar or
practical/studio courses.
