UJ Architecture
UJ Architecture, Architectural professionals are involved in shaping our built environment. Their efforts are evident everywhere you look, from the simple construction of a low-cost housing project to the most sophisticated technology employed in the erection of skyscrapers. Architectural professionals are employed in the design, technological resolution and management of construction projects. Architecture is part art and part science, and graduates can decide where they wish to position themselves.

The programme addresses knowledge fields in architecture. It emphasises the relationship between design and technology and focuses on design concepts and design development using an interdisciplinary design approach. It prepares students for further study or registration and employment as Candidate Architectural Technologists (SACAP Part 1).
