The study programme includes comprehensive interdisciplinary knowledge in the fields of history and
theory of urban planning, architecture and fine arts, sociology, civil engineering, building construction,
physics of buildings and urban infrastructure. On completion of the course, graduates will acquire
interdisciplinary knowledge not only in technical sciences and humanities but will also develop creative
skills in space planning. They will be well prepared to design architectural structures of diverse functions,
make urban design and space planning projects.
Study Course – INTERIOR DESIGN
First degree undergraduate (BArch, 7 semesters) full-time and part-time courses with a possibility of
completing second degree courses (MArch, 4 semesters).
The course programme provides thorough interdisciplinary knowledge in the fields of history and theory
of interior design and fine arts, ergonomics, lighting, theory of colours as well as basic engineering knowhow and skills. Interior Design graduates will have the knowledge and skills that will enable them to
design multi-functional interiors like those of homes, sacred buildings or public utilities. They will also be
able to design exhibition stands, furniture, works of applied art, interior sculpture and artistic lighting.
They will be prepared to carry out their design work in teams as well as individually.
Study Course - GRAPHIC ARTS
First degree undergraduate (BA, 6 semesters) full-time and part-time courses.
Specialization: Graphic Design
This course provides a comprehensive study of plastic arts and development of technical skills in graphic
design. Graduates of the course will possess all the necessary knowledge and technical skills in graphic
arts and other related disciplines which will enable them to work creatively using both traditional and
