The Architecture's future
Studying at the CEU UCH means choosing a University which is different both in the ‘what’ and the ‘how’. We offer a combination of experience and innovation. It is about being truly international and yet with strong local roots. In short, we can offer you everything you need to be whatever you want to be.
A unique degree.
A global trip.
What makes us different?
1. What is ArchiTRIPture
It is the trip as a methodology to learn or what we call "learning by traveling". A disruptive methodology based on travel as a learning tool, that's why your most important book will be your passport. Traveling opens our minds and pushes us to live experiences that change our way of understanding the world and even the course of our lives.
ArchiTRIPture is to be an architect with a global vision and with the capacity to build anywhere on the planet. That's why during this title we travel and we get to know the architecture of:
10 cities, one per each quarter.
          |
And three expeditions to three continents, learning by traveling in:
-
TokioTokio
A unique, distant and different world with a great history and cultural tradition that is also reflected in its architecture.
-
Nueva YorkNueva York
Industrialization, big cities and the golden age of skyscrapers, by the hand of one of the most renowned architects in history: Frank Lloyd Wright.
-
DakarDakar
Example of architecture from another continent through which we can understand other ways to inhabit and colonize the landscape with very different means than we are used to but equally valid and enriching.
2. A world in an Architecture School
Because in our School of architecture, students from more than 30 countries share a classroom. That is why the degree is taught in English. And in practical project sessions you can choose to work in English or Spanish because they are personalized one-on-one teacher-student sessions. A different school in which different things happen. So if you are thinking of studying architecture as always, better stop reading right now.
But if you keep reading, you are interested in knowing that in our School you will find:
- Small groups: 25 students to receive personalized training.
- Multicultural Class, students from countries such as Sweden, Germany, Ukraine, Canada, Norway, Kuwait, etc., live in each classroom. You will be here, but the atmosphere will be as if you were in an English or American university.
- One to one personalized tutoring in the practical subjects of projects.
- Training experiences beyond the classrooms, so you can complement your training with workshops and visits by international architects.
- International internships, so you can acquire the necessary professional experience. They are practices in the best studies and national and international firms. Studies as Aires Mateus and Joao A. Rocha (Portugal), Müller Sigrist (Switzerland), Cruz and Ortiz and OAB Ferrater (Spain), McCullough-Mulvin (Ireland), Merom Architects (Sweden), Mjölk (Czech Republic), etc.
3. Working in the ArchiTRIPture world
Pre-professional internships in the best studios and national and international firms: Aires Mateus, Müller Sigrist (Switzerland), Cruz y Ortiz and OAB Ferrater (Spain), McCullough-Mulvin (Ireland), Merom Architects (Sweden), Mjölk (Rep. Czech), etc.
Pre-professional internships to know how to work with ease in an international technical environment. Classmates from all over the world, professors and companies associated with the University constitute your first international network.
4. An architecture based on the 3Ps.
Our approach to architecture is based on the architectural philosophy of the 3 Ps:
- Prosperity: an architecture conceived as an engine of progress and improvement of urban and personal living conditions. An architecture that is interpreted as a generator of a modern economy.
- People: an architecture thought and created from people and for people. The focus on the human factor as a mechanism that creates forms and spaces.
- Planet: an architecture that generates sustainable spaces and that improve the future of the planet
In the end, a once-in-a-lifetime international immersive experience powered by technical knowledge and training trips.
Become an architect ready to develop your career at an international level with our innovative international studies in Architecture. From Valencia to the world, surrounded by a group of international students and 10 training trips around the planet.

Final Year Project
The TFG involves students completing their own original research projects that include and expand upon on topics studied on the course and require students to use the skills and abilities they have acquired throughout their degree. The aim of the dissertation is to teach students how to look for, structure, organise and evaluate relevant information in order to help them develop their own opinions, including how to approach topics with a social, scientific, technological or ethical nature, and how to develop their own thoughts, criticisms and logical and creative judgments.

How our Dual Degrees work
Two degrees at your own pace and as flexible as you needWhen you graduate, you will have two official university degrees, not a single joint degree. That is why the dual degrees at CEU are designed to meet your needs, with customized study paths to suit the pace you need to study at and to take into account any international study visits. We will take care of everything with regard to the credit recognition system – let us worry about it. 
Dual degree and double the pay-off, but not double the priceStudy for a dual degree will give you two degree qualifications, but you will not have to pay the full annual fees for both programs. As a rough guide, if one degree costs you 100 euros, the dual degree will cost you 130. Just ask us for more details. 
No switching campus and no complex bureaucracyYou will study for the dual degree in the same building, so you will not have to commute between lectures. There will be a single case manager for your study path, and so there is no complex bureaucratic system to navigate. You will get a dual degree, but without the usual administrative complications. |
