Overview

This unique program in Architecture Engineering from the German University in Cairo is dedicated to advancing and improving the awareness, the understanding and the practice of Architecture and Urban Design, both locally and internationally, as an interdisciplinary field of science, focusing strongly on Building Technology. The German University in Cairo awards a bachelor degree in Architecture and Urban Design after 10 semesters of study (5 years).

Programme Overview

The Architecture and Urban Design Program at the GUC aims at graduating professional architects, who are highly demanded- both internationally and locally- and are able to perform the roles of generalists, as well as specialists in different kinds of projects, as well as carry out research that serves the industry. It also aims at becoming a role model educational institution with a global scope in Egypt.

To achieve this vision, students are brought up to understand the role of the architect in the society: in a project, s/he is the maestro; s/he conducts the entire building process, including all engineering disciplines/ specialties (structure, electromechanical, IT…), which operate under the architect’s umbrella. Thus, they practice the leading role they are going to play in both local and international markets.

Programme Structure

Within a balanced mix of theory, research and practice, the first 7 semesters are divided into a Basic Module and a Core Module.

The Basic Module lays out and transfers the important spectrum of artistic, formative, technical, historical and social studies knowledge, as well as the basic methodologies needed for the study and practice of architecture, covering such courses as: architectural drawing, freehand drawing and modelling, history of architecture, structural design, CAAD/CAM and ecology and environmental control systems, in the form of lectures and their accompanying labs and tutorials.
