In the Bachelor programme the design studios are primarily assigned; in the Master there is an
optional option.
The list of electives for the Bachelor programme was not available. No assessment possible.
The optional requirements can be chosen from the University of Gent’s entire course offer (in the
Bachelor as in the Master programme), as long as the student can prove overall coherence between
the courses. These courses are not listed in Assessment III.
In the Master programme there are three design studios per semester. One to two of the studios are
to be chosen from urban design, the others from the construction design range.
There are between 15 and 20 students per design studio, to which is assigned a professor and his/
her assistant. For each construction design studio two professors and two assistants are assigned.
There is a theoretical and a practical part. For the former, visiting professors are invited to participate
in discussion rounds.
Group consultations take place on one day during the week. Every 5th or 6th week, architects are
invited to a critique.
Master thesis: This can be a design based project or a theoretical work. Should the student opt for a
design based project, a previous design project is further deepened.
