The core of architectural education lies in the execution of tasks within the discipline of "Architectural Design." This course begins from the first semester and culminates in the completion of a diploma project. The educational process and architectural design are closely intertwined:
1. With real-world projects: Students are engaged in fulfilling commissions from design firms, government bodies, and public organizations as part of their academic training.
2. Through scientific research: All students learn research methodologies within their academic disciplines, while the most capable students are involved in research activities conducted by the departments.
3. Through various international contacts: Students and faculty members engage in diverse international collaborations both within and beyond the academic framework.
Throughout its existence, the Architecture Faculty has produced over 4,100 architects, including approximately 600 for countries such as Hungary, Vietnam, Egypt, Iran, Yemen, Kenya, China, Congo, Cuba, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Madagascar, Morocco, Mozambique, Mongolia, Nepal, Nicaragua, Peru, Syria, Tanzania, and others. Graduates of the BNUT Architecture Faculty hold prominent positions in various design and research organizations, as well as in government bodies overseeing architectural and urban planning activities. Over the years, the faculty has employed 75 teachers, including 8 Doctors and 26 Candidates of Architecture, while educating around 1000 students.
