Because it provides you with a solid foundation in design, construction and architectural thinking, combining creativity, technique and spatial vision to develop projects with meaning, functionality and aesthetic value.
The UAX Bachelor's Degree in Foundations of Architecture is the gateway to the world of architecture and urban design. At UAX we like to consider Architecture as a multipurpose discipline: a symbiosis between art and science, between aesthetics and technique, which encompasses the consideration of the entire environment surrounding human life.
You will have at your disposal a faculty made up of more than 95% of professionals working in companies such as SACYR, or the College of Architects of Madrid, as well as a Pritzker Prize and a RIBA Gold Medal.
All of this at our Villanueva de la Cañada campus, with more than 25,000m2 of specialised laboratories such as the FabLab with virtual reality areas, 3D printers and coworking areas, among others.
You will obtain official Autodesk certifications in BIM methodologies, issued by MSI Digital Builders, with international recognition.
Architecture students participate in innovation projects with students from other degrees and professionals from leading companies with the aim of facing real challenges as they will do tomorrow.
