"We aim to provide the market not only with holders of bachelor degrees, but also with more knowledgeable graduates who have the skills to contribute to the design and implementation of projects and ventures conducted by the government and private sectors."
He added, "We made architecture and urban studies our first step in the stairway to graduate studies to meet the rapidly growing needs of the market, and also allow those students who have bachelor degrees in architecture to continue their studies and lead projects with a comprehensive approach that takes into account economic, social and environmental factors."
The first intake of students of the new Masters in Architecture and Urban Studies programme is planned for academic year 2009-10.
Applicants should hold a BSc in Architectural or Civil Engineering, have a GPA abo 3, and must score at least 550 on the TOEFL exam.
