Bachelor of Science in Architecture

Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University (PMU) offers a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Architecture. The program is offered to male and female students who are Saudi or non-Saudi nationals who qualify for admission. The classroom experience for Architecture students will be highly student-centered, interactive, project-centered, and communicative. Courses will combine theoretical content with practical and design studio experience. The five-year PMU Architecture program gives students the professional knowledge and skills they need to enter the profession of Architecture. While students completing architecture degrees at the PMU could certainly continue to graduate studies, the main emphasis in the architecture program is on the preparation of graduates for employment and licensing as professional architects. Graduates of the Department of Architecture will be self-directed, motivated, technically competent professionals with strong design skills, communication skills, capability for effective teamwork, and leadership. The PMU program will focus upon two contemporary trends in architectural education and practice: 1) intensive focus on technology, especially digital technology, and 2) research-informed design and practice that is grounded in scientifically rigorous evidence.
