On the contrary of popular beliefs, you don't have to be a skilled artist to enter this major. Though it helps to have an artistic gift, architects will be expected to have a creative thinking process, work long hours in solitary while at the same time also able to communicate ideas to a team, and sketch his ideas on a piece of paper.
A good architect is a well rounded graduate who will learn to accentuate the building she builds by observing the surrounding environment. Students will be taught from history of architectural design, how a culture affects building designs, construction physics and materials. Lately, architects are adhered to professional practices to avoid illegal conducts in the profession.
Students will spend their university years in a studio constructing replicas of their blueprints. These assignments will train them to be able to work as a team and individually. There will also be on-site visits where students can observe existing buildings and draw inspirations from their mentors.
By having an undergraduate degree does not entitle students to join the professional association yet. Students will be expected to pursue a higher qualification (e.g.: Postgraduate, professional exams) in order to open a firm or practice his profession.
