The Doctorate of Architecture Course (Ph.D.) contributes to students’ theoretical and practical knowledge of architecture, the planning, designing and construction of buildings. Students are expected to carry out research, discuss and express their thoughts analytically in written and oral form.
The program allows for the learning of architectural theories and their application, methods and techniques in a variety of core and elective modules. As technology and economy are constantly developing, students are encouraged to become innovative, creative, independent, dynamic and productive researchers and instructors.
Students are required to continue the Doctorate of Architecture program for at least eight semesters and take seven core courses and a seminar. Assuming that they succeed in the Ph.D. qualifying examination, students successfully concluding the course must, in light of the suggestions from their supervisors, prepare a thesis on a topic contributing to the literature, and defend it before a jury.
