Program overview
The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Architecture at Sunway University is designed to cultivate a new generation of architectural graduates who understand architectural design as both a creative and critical practice, essential for influencing societal change. Located within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, this program also collaborates with the Faculty of Engineering and Technology. Spanning three years, students engage in hands-on learning that emphasizes thinking, investigation, and exploration, addressing the complexities of the built environment through design.
