Bachelor in Architecture

Tuition is 208 USD per year.

Architecture as a discipline integrates design creativity, technical knowledge, and cultural awareness to address the built environment at scales ranging from individual rooms to entire urban territories. The Architecture programme at ENSAP — Ecole Nationale Supérieure Architecture Paysage de Bordeaux — located in Talence, France, leads to a three-year bachelor's-level diploma taught in French, with yearly tuition of 178 EUR and September entry. Students are trained through design studios at the heart of the curriculum, where they develop spatial reasoning, compositional skills, and the capacity to generate, test, and communicate architectural proposals at progressively complex scales. Supporting courses cover structural systems, building materials, construction technologies, building physics, and digital tools for design and representation including CAD and modelling software. The history and theory of architecture are studied across periods — from antiquity through the Renaissance and the modern movement to contemporary practice — alongside ongoing debates about sustainability, climate adaptation, urban density, and the social responsibilities of architects. Landscape and urbanism are integrated into the curriculum, reflecting the school's dual architecture-landscape identity. Students learn to present their work through drawings, physical and digital models, and written arguments. In the French system, this three-year cycle is the first stage of a longer course of study: graduates typically continue to a master's-level programme to obtain the full state diploma in architecture required for professional registration. Career paths include architectural practice, urban design, heritage and conservation work, project management, and teaching.
