Summary of the Profile
General Description:
Objective(s) of a study programme:
To provide research experience and systematic thinking and leadership skills for independent and professional design and research of buildings, urban complexes and landscape architecture objects.
Learning outcomes:
Knowledge and Skills:
A1 Able to interpret the latest theoretical, factual and methodological knowledge of socio-economic phenomena, management, technology and spatial environment formation required for research and taking decisions about shaping the environment for sustainable development of communities.
A2 Able to evaluate critically, analyse creatively and systematise the acquired knowledge using scientific and artistic research methods and to apply it in architectural practice in order to create sustainable environment.
Research:
B1 Able to carry out independently applied scientific and artistic research using a variety of research methods: to search for information, to identify scientific and artistic problems, to collect data, to analyse, synthesize and evaluate them, to formulate conclusions and proposals, and to draw up a design programme on the basis of the research carried out, as well as plan and organize the design process.
B2 Able to use the research results in professional activity, generating original design ideas and formulating scientifically based hypotheses and concepts.
B3 Able to analyse research data, make original decisions, evaluate alternatives, predict potential environmental impact independently.
Specific Skills:
C1 Able to integrate contemporary up-to-date theoretical concepts, methodological and technological knowledge and apply them independently in research and design activities having a broad view of the diversity of issues and the interdisciplinary context.
C2 Able to investigate and evaluate independently the quality of buildings, urban complexes and their contextual environment as well as public spaces and use the results of the evaluation to create living spatial environment of high quality.
C3 Able to solve independently complex architectural problems in the context of scientific research, to develop science-based projects of various purposes and complexities of buildings, urban complexes and their contextual environment as well as public spaces contributing to social, cultural, aesthetic, ecologic and economic needs of multicultural society.
C4 Able to apply principles and technologies of sustainable design and advanced creative techniques developing projects of buildings, urban complexes and objects of landscape architecture.
C5 Able to develop projects of renovation and heritage protection and management based on the latest scientific knowledge.
Social Skills:
D1 Able to organize and conduct scientific and artistic research, to work in interdisciplinary teams of researchers and to lead them.
D2 Able to convey the results of research, research-based design solutions, and knowledge and understanding of the field to specialist and non-specialist audiences through a variety of communication techniques.
D3 Able to communicate and collaborate with other professionals in the national language and at least one foreign language, to think critically and self-critically, and to respect diversity and multiculturalism.
Personal Skills:
E1 Able to follow professional ethics and take personal and collective responsibility for the long-term social consequences of architectural activities.
E2 Able to make decisions independently in the fields of science and practice, to search for new knowledge and innovative solutions, and to acquire new skills.
E3 Able to use creatively the results of scientific research to solve design and planning issues.
Activities of teaching and learning:
The studies include classroom work (lectures, practical work, laboratory work, consultation seminars, outgoing visits to enterprises, etc.) and individual work for mastering theoretical material, preparation for classroom work, intermediate and final assessments and performing other activities. The studies of each study module are completed by the assessment of the student’s knowledge and skills – an examination or another final assessment; the study programme is completed by the final degree project and its defence.
The study methods of active learning, such as design (programming), design thinking, challenge-based learning, creative workshops, group work, experiential learning, discussion, problem-based learning, reflective learning, idea (mind) mapping, etc. are applied to encourage the active participation and creativity of students in the study process. The achievements are assessed using the traditional assessment methods, such as laboratory examination, assignments, laboratory or project report, as well as other methods: work or competency file (portfolio), problem-solving task, engineering project, reflection on action, self-assessment, etc.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
The applied cumulative assessment system of the learning outcomes ensures constant and involving work of students during the entire semester of studies; the final evaluation of the study module consists of the sum of the grades of intermediate assessments and the final assessment multiplied by the weighting coefficients (percentages of components).
The number of intermediate assessments and their expression in percentage are chosen by the study module’s coordinating lecturer. Besides the usual forms of assessment (for example, examination, oral presentation, project report, laboratory examination), an additional form of assessment “Assessment of student activity (level)” may be applied (up to 10% of the final grade) for the assessment of the student’s preparation for case analysis, an active discussion, participation in debates, etc.
