Aside from taking the courses you mentioned above, your school may also facilitate an On-the-Job training at construction firms and similar government agenciesΒ where you may work withΒ engineersΒ or engineers in training in theΒ construction of different structures.

    • Hi Rica! We’re sorry, but we’re not really sure about that. From what we know, all subjects in a certain course are challenging. On the other hand, you might ask and take some advice from architect students. πŸ™‚

    • Hi, Joey!

      As far as we know, most schools require applicants to take their entrance exams regardless of the course they wish to pursue.
      As for the actual list of the subjects that you’ll be taking and the tuition fees, we suggest you contact the school you’re thinking of enrolling at so they can give you a more accurate and detailed response.

      • Good Day, ask lang ko please kung sa 5 years po bang pag aaral mo at the same time ay pwede po bang pagsabayin ang ojt while taking the course? Kase mukang aabot kase yata ng 7 years ang pag aaral mo + 2 years na ojt bago ka makakuha ng board exam, kaso yung mga target lang sana is 5 years. Salamat po

        • Hi, Job!

          We’ve seen both recent graduates of BS Architecture and students who are on their fifth year looking for OJT opportunities, so we’re guessing it might vary from case to case. We suggest you contact the school you are thinking of enrolling at as they are in the best position to clear things up for you.

          As for training duration, we believe the minimum is 200 hours, so that’s not likely to take two years if you’re going to be working a few hours each day.

  4. Hello,

    I am graduate of BSBA Entrepreneurship, and now i’m thinking to study BS in Architecture, just want to know if how many years would it take if i enroll in the same school i’ve been before. and does my other minor subjects would be credited? thanks for your upcoming reply.

    • Hi, Rhom!

      That would depend on how many units will be credited or carried over to your new course, which, in turn, depends on the policies of the school you are enrolled / will be enrolling at. General Education subjects are usually credited, but there are schools that impose a fixed number of units that can be credited when you shift to a new course, so it’s best if you’ll get in touch with the school registrar so they can break it down for you.

    • i have a question…what’s the course description for the subject: Facilities/Building Administration? pls help..thanks

      • Hi, Bokz!

        Thanks for visiting our site.

        We haven’t come across an actual course description for Facilities/Building Administration so far, but from what we know, facilities administration usually involves overseeing the daily operations of buildings or facilities. This may include anything from space optimization, procurement of supplies, maintenance of electrical and computer systems, and staffing.

        If we’ll be talking about architecture, we’re guessing it would have something to do with designing building layouts that would ensure space efficiency, increase work productivity, and protect workers’ safety. That’s just our guess, though. You might want to check with schools that have an architecture program so they can give you a more accurate and detailed course description.

        πŸ™‚

  16. do any one of the univerity give a online study or course in architecture.i want to continue and i am a third year student in architecture.

    • Hi, Allan!

      Thanks for visiting our site.

      We’re sorry, but so far, we haven’t come across any schools that offer online courses in Architecture.
