The Architecture Undergraduate degree program comprises 140 credits of full-time study which must be completed. In order to graduate, students are required to have a minimum cumulative average of 2.00 out of a possible total of 4.00.   

ECTS (European Credit Transfer System)

FIU’s credit allocation system has also been carefully aligned with the European Credit Transfer System on the basis of 1 ECTS credit requiring 25 hours of student work both inside and outside formal classes.

A four-year FIU degree is therefore equivalent to 240 ECTS credits, or approximately 30 ECTS credits per semester.

Over the course of a full calendar year, in order to meet program requirements, it is expected that a student would therefore need to study 1500 hours, including classes, home study and holiday study.

Individual courses are not currently assigned ECTS credit values, but departments will advise on equivalences and priorities.

Diploma

Students graduating from the program are awarded a Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.).
