Undergraduate Programme

 In contrast to most undergraduate courses related to the built environment offered by other universities, the school’s curriculum combines professional specialism with broad-based education that transcends disciplinary boundaries.

This approach has now been recognized by many internationally renowed universities in the same field as mitigating the compartmentalization which plagues the construction industry.

The Bachelor of Science degrees are of three years duration.  During the first year, all students are expected to take the same compulsory courses which are broad-based and multidisciplinary in nature.  Aspects relevant to the field of development which involve technical, management and administration are delivered in an integrated approach.  This provides graduates greater opportunity to acquire a wider range of knowledge, enabling them to adapt to various conditions and solve problems creatively and cohesively.

Students have the opportunity to major in one of the following 7 specializations:

• Architecture
• Building Surveying
• Building Technology
• Construction Management
• Interior Design
• Quantity Surveying
• Urban and Regional Planning

Despite the streaming, the philosophy of the School is to provide an integrative knowledge and skills. This is maintained through real-life studio projects and enriched by courses taught by lecturers from various disciplines.

The structure of the curriculum is based on the unit system, whereby students exercise some flexibility in programming their own studies, so long as the basic requirements for units to be taken in each subject area and course are satisfied.

These specialisations are recognized by the respectives professional bodies such as the Malaysian Institute of Planners (MIP), Malaysian Institute of Architects (PAM), Malaysian Board of Architects (LAM) the Board of QS Malaysia and the Institution of Surveyors Malaysia (ISM).
