Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.)
Programme Overview
The flagship programme at the Hafeez Contractor School of Architecture is the Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.), a five-year full-time professional degree designed to develop future-ready architects.
The curriculum is strictly governed by the Council of Architecture (CoA) and aligned with NEP 2020, ensuring a balance of design excellence, technical expertise, and ethical practice. The programme follows a studio-centric pedagogy, where learning is immersive, hands-on, and project-driven.
The academic journey is structured in phases:
- Foundation Years: Building core design, visualisation, and conceptual skills
- Core Professional Years: Integration of structure, services, sustainability, and technology
- Final Phase :Mandatory practical training (internship) and a research-driven architectural thesis
With a strong focus on digital mastery, sustainability, and interdisciplinary collaboration, the programme prepares students to lead in a rapidly evolving built environment.
