Bachelor of Architecture (B. Arch.) Degree Course
Program Overview
The Bachelor of Architecture Course is a five year degree course run in ten semesters, as per Credit based Grading System defined by University Of Mumbai.
The Syllabus prescribed by the University of Mumbai, suggests to appreciate the fact that architecture today is more and more being informed by disciplines out of/other than architecture.

It is a Meta Discipline, a critical attitude, not merely an empirical discipline like engineering that needs/seeks/works with data. Architecture deals with fundamental issues of users, cities and societies, and not only materials, processes and aesthetics. It questions the presupposed, and seeks new and contemporary meanings.
