At Chitkara, we continuously strive to strike a balance between hands-on practice and advanced theoretical studies to mold professionals who are well-equipped to take on any challenge thrown at them by modern-day society. Our budding architects learn how to explore their power of imagination to the hilt and how to fuse it with the knowledge that they gain from an array of technical courses. Designs and solutions developed as a result of such fusion are often exceptional.
After successfully completing the Bachelor of Architecture program, students will have the opportunity to pursue a Master of Planning under the Fellowship program. While pursuing the Master’s program, they will also be eligible for a stipend of approximately Rs. 30,000 per month.
At Chitkara University, we understand that to achieve success in the complex but rewarding field of architecture, it is vital to hone core skills like critical thinking while also gaining a deep understanding of humanistic topics like cultural diversity. The Bachelor of Architecture program includes an eclectic mix of courses that range from history, design and drawing to principles of building construction, civil structures, construction management, and town planning. Moreover, towards the end of the program, students get a chance to learn on the job through internships at reputed architectural and construction firms from around the globe. It is, therefore no surprise that at the culmination of 5 years, our students of architecture become adept at paying attention to both theoretical and cultural aspects, thus excelling in each one of their projects.
