Architecture is a bachelor's degree program at Cracow University of Technology, based in Kraków, Poland, running seven semesters and taught in English, with yearly tuition of 5000 EUR. The programme follows current architectural education standards and has earned two international accreditations, from the Royal Institute of British Architects and through the European Union Notification, which the programme's materials describe as unique among first-degree English-taught architecture programmes in Poland. Teaching is organized into compact, student-friendly blocks covering Integrated Design, Technical Knowledge, Theory and Practice, Architectural and Urban Heritage Theory, Presentation Skills Practice, and Architectural Profession Principles. The programme is delivered by the Faculty of Architecture at Cracow University of Technology, with contributions from visiting professors and experts from Europe, the USA, and Canada, and is described as focused on the quality and effectiveness of teaching and learning. Students study in Kraków, a UNESCO-listed heritage city known for architecture spanning traditional and contemporary styles, which the programme presents as complementing its coursework on architectural and urban traditions and principles. Architecture as a field combines technical, artistic, and planning knowledge in the design of buildings and urban spaces, and a bachelor's programme of this kind typically covers design studios, drawing and presentation skills, construction technology, and the history and theory of architecture and urbanism. Applicants must submit required documents as listed in the application procedures published by the Faculty, along with a cover letter and a portfolio of freehand drawings covering geometrical solids, still life, existing buildings, and cityscapes, plus photographs devoted to architecture. EU citizens take an entrance exam instead and do not submit a portfolio.
