Internships in Architecture

Internships take place for four months during the second semester of the 2^nd through 4^th years, providing an exceptional opportunity to use and improve the skills learned in the classroom. The placements, both national and international, allow students to work on projects in architectural firms, magazines, city governments and other relevant placements, acquiring a truly professional experience which consists of more than a full year of their Bachelor degree.
