First of all, there are three directions for postgraduate education in architecture: 1, architectural design-learning drawing to earn money. 2 architectural history-study history, partial art. 3. Building technology-structure, energy-saving design, etc. Architectural design major is the most popular.
1, admitted example: When I was in graduate school, one of my roommates was admitted to the water conservancy major of Wuhan University. But that guy is a famous undergraduate school with high IQ and very strong learning ability. Therefore, even foreign majors have been admitted to graduate students of Xijian University. He studied design hard for three years as a graduate student and found a good job after graduation. His wife, like his undergraduate major, was admitted to Shenzhen University as a graduate student.
2. Schedule: Foreign majors need to study for at least one year. Fast performance and type training for about half a year; Go to see the professional courses and public courses for half a year. English can't be too bad. . If you choose the direction of architectural technology, you can take advanced mathematics. Please note that one year means full-load study, and nothing else takes this into account. Better have more time.
3. Examination subject: (1) Quick design, also known as quick question, refers to completing relatively simple architectural design drawings independently in about 6 hours, and the difficulty varies from school to school. If you have an art foundation, you will get some light. (2) Architectural history is biased towards liberal arts, that is, endorsement. Ordinary colleges and universities can recite textbooks. The better the school, the more difficult the topic of architectural history. These two courses are compulsory. (3) Another specialized course varies from school to school. Then there is English and politics, no matter what major.
4. Key questions:
(1) The most important thing is that you find the right position. What grade of school should be reviewed in a targeted manner. In this case, you'd better apply for a postgraduate degree in architecture from a non-key school.
(2) You can find some information and exam materials in the student section of ABBS forum, some of which are very targeted and useful.
(3) Which school to take an examination of, you'd better find some graduate students you know studying in that school to give you some advice. Very useful, saving a lot of detours.
5. Others: Compared with other majors, the degree of architecture is useless, mainly relying on the ability of design work. If you really want to do architectural design, take the exam again. First, it is difficult to cross majors, and second, it will be difficult to work after graduation. Although the salary is not low, it is really hard money, and it is not easy at all.
I teach this major, so it's basically like this. It's best to apply to any school and explain it to the graduate students you met there. It must be targeted.
