Architecture Neapolis University Pafos

Overview

In particular, the Department of Architecture, Land and Environmental Sciences, contains the programs of Architecture, MA in Digital Video Production, Master in Landscape Architecture, as well the Msc. in Environmental Impact Assessment and Sustainability Management. 

The co-existence of these four scientific disciplines, demonstrates the specific character of the Department, which is its multidisciplinary structure. Despite the fact that each one of these discrete disciplines keeps its scientific autonomy, certain synergies exist between them, for two basic reasons. Educationally for their cognitive cross enrichment, whereas technically for source saving.

The Programme in Architecture at Neapolis University Pafos offers a Bachelor’s Degree after four years of full-time studies and the Diploma in Architecture after five years of full-time studies.

The Programme in Architecture acknowledges the significant social role and responsibility of architectural practice for the study and development of space, both public and private. In this respect, each student is considered as a distinct personality, freely open to a system of values and abilities, concerning their aesthetic development, imagination, intuition, ethos and consistency
