| What it is | This is a one-year English and design foundation program for international students whose English skills need strengthening before entering architecture or design studies. You take intensive English classes alongside introductory courses in architecture, landscape design, and visual design to build both language ability and design thinking. It suits international students who have strong potential but need to reach the English proficiency standard the university requires for direct entry into degree programs. | This program teaches you to design, build, and maintain automated systems that control machines and processes in factories, utilities, and other industries. Unlike a general engineering degree, it focuses specifically on the practical skills and hands-on work needed to implement automation rather than the deep theory behind it. It suits students who want to solve real problems with machinery and electronics and prefer learning by doing alongside classroom study. | You study how to design and restore buildings while minimizing environmental impact, combining architecture, history, and ecological design. This program emphasizes conservation of existing structures and sustainable materials and methods, setting it apart from general architecture programs that focus mainly on new construction. It suits students interested in heritage preservation and green building who want hands-on experience through co-op placements. |
