Department of Architecture
The Architecture Program at Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU) was established in 2013 with the mission of educating and training future architects. Since 2015, the Architecture curriculum has been developed in accordance with international education standards, with reference to the architecture program of the National University of Singapore (NUS). Most textbooks and reference materials are imported from overseas with proper copyright, ensuring accuracy, diversity, and continuous updates on an annual basis.
The development orientation of the Architecture Program in the coming years is to rank among the Top 5 architecture training institutions in Vietnam; to educate graduates who meet the requirements for obtaining the Professional Architect Practicing Certificate in Vietnam; and to guide learners in developing creative thinking, strong adaptability, and fundamental knowledge of structural solutions, as well as the use of materials suitable for climate change conditions in Vietnam. Students are also expected to be fully capable of carrying out architectural design projects and interior design works.
Through exchange and cooperation programs with many universities around the world, the Architecture Program at TDTU creates opportunities for outstanding students to experience at least one semester abroad prior to graduation.
Upon graduation, architects trained at TDTU are able to proficiently use office software and advanced professional software for architectural practice. Graduates possess sufficient professional competence and expertise to work at architectural–construction design consultancy firms, architectural research institutes, architectural–planning and urban construction management agencies, and project management units at various levels from district to city. They are capable of using English proficiently and have many opportunities to pursue overseas study immediately after graduation.
