Bachelor of Architecture/Bachelor of Architectural Studies

The Bachelor of Architecture/Bachelor of Architectural Studies program at the University of Nairobi is a comprehensive six-year course designed to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge for a successful career in architecture. The program is divided into two tiers: the first four years culminate in a Bachelor of Architectural Studies (B.A.S.), followed by an additional two years leading to the professional Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) degree. The curriculum emphasizes architectural design as the central discipline, supported by lectures, tutorials, and practical workshops. Students engage in project-based learning, tackling design issues of varying scales and complexities. The final year requires the submission of a written thesis and a design project. The program is delivered through a blended approach, combining face-to-face instruction with open, distance, and electronic learning (ODeL). Graduates are prepared for various roles in the built environment and can pursue further studies or professional registration as architects.
