Architecture is a bachelor's degree program at Gdańsk University of Technology, based in Gdańsk, Poland, running eight semesters and taught in English, with yearly tuition of 17200 PLN. The curriculum was designed for students wishing to study architecture, developed to build both technical knowledge and an awareness of aesthetic and human-oriented values. It allows students to develop skills related to shaping urbanized areas, from small elements of architecture and public utility facilities to larger, multi-spatial urban projects. Courses within the programme draw on disciplines from technical sciences, including architecture, urbanism, construction, and arts or the history of art. The main aim of the programme is to prepare graduates as architects for their professional careers and for informed, competent participation in shaping the spaces that people and communities live in. Graduates of the first-cycle programme are described as prepared to begin their professional careers as auxiliaries and in implementation and construction supervision roles related to urban design and the design of architectural objects and their surroundings, and completing the programme allows graduates to continue into second-cycle studies. Architecture as a field combines design, engineering, and planning knowledge, and a bachelor's programme of this kind typically introduces design studios, construction and structural principles, and the history and theory of architecture and urban planning, alongside broader coursework in the arts. Admission requires a secondary school certificate, which is obligatory, along with state exam or matriculation results, where applicable. The subjects used to calculate a candidate's admission points are mathematics and either history of art or informatics. Applicants must also submit a portfolio of five to ten works completed personally, including drawings of human figures, geometrical solids, and architecture, submitted in printed form during registration weeks.
