The core subject, Architectural Design, is complemented by a diverse curriculum that includes:
- Technical subjects: Structural Design, Environmental Science, Acoustics, Quantity Surveying, and Disaster Management.
- Humanities subjects: History, Sociology, Philosophy, and Literature.
- Management training: Professional Practice, Project Management, Public Speaking, and Peer Learning.
- Vocational skills: Carpentry, Fabrication, Digital Techniques, and Photography.
The B.Arch program lays a strong foundation for various specializations, including Product Design, Graphic Design, City Planning, Urban Design, Landscape Design, and Parametric Design, among others.
