Bachelor of Science (Honours) Architecture
Our Architecture programme has received Part I Full Accreditation from Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia
This programme is designed to draw upon the special material, cultural and ecological circumstances of our locality to pioneer holistic approaches to the built environment. Faced with global issues of climate change, habitat and species loss, urban poverty and rural transformation, architecture needs to embrace a sustainability that is informed by indigeneity of people, culture and land to create a lasting, flourishing built environment that is global in outlook and uniquely Sarawakian in practice.
What is Architecture?

It is an expression of shapes, forms, space and light to change our environment creatively. Architects design creative structures and spaces while ensuring designs are beautiful, safe, functional and realistic. Architects involve in designing process include ideation, studies, drawing, drafting, model-making etc. The role carries with it obligations and responsibilities of creating a better environment for people and other beings.

Architects' works involve space and place making, buildings, environment, structures, infrastructures, objects and most importantly, people.
