International Program in Design and Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University

Globalization has inevitably affected architecture in terms of both professional practice and educational procedure. As a result of GATT and Free Trade Agreements, for example, architectural practice in Thailand is no longer legally reserved for Thais only. This demands that architectural design graduates need to be capable of working collaboratively and competitively with foreign colleagues within Thailand as well as without. The curriculum of the B.Sc in Architectural Design answers this demand with English proficiency, global knowledge, and international standards in design practice and theory. The ultimate objective of this program is to produce passionate and responsible graduates with a dynamic understanding of design and architecture for the international context. The B.Sc. in Architectural Design is diverse, challenging, and designed to critically instill students with self-motivation and self-direction for their pursuit of knowledge and experience. This knowledge and experience will reflect both global environmental issues and regional issues for Asia'Globalization has inevitably affected architecture in terms of both professional practice and educational procedure.
