Situated in PES University’s rich and intense educational environment, the program emphasizes the interconnected relationship between architectural design, building technology, computation, history, theory and criticism of architecture and art. The Department’s extensive offerings reflect the program’s commitment to the cultural, social, technological and ecological issues of the built environment. Committed to a rigorous and interdisciplinary approach throughout the program, our students are challenged to be creative, innovative, and responsible leaders in the field. The program is planned to engage new ways of thinking about architecture and architectural education.
Today, the architectural profession is of high relevance. The need is to ensure that what is built is environmentally sustainable. The architectural endeavors should not just suit the present but also the future. A career in architecture offers opportunities to transform the environment in which we live to what we want and to contribute works of value and beauty.

Architecture graduates will find employment in established architecture firms. They will usually start by assisting more experienced architects before managing projects on their own. After they have gained experience the graduates may start their independent practice, they may pursue higher education, they may involve themselves in Academic fields and research. Apart from the above, graduates may pursue in interior and spatial design fields as well as website design, or perhaps other roles within the community and local environment, like town-planning, landscape architecture or even sustainable areas may be taken up.
There are some specialized areas that could also be of interest to those with a passion for the environment and history-such as conservation of historic buildings and places. If one has the flair to write about architecture and design, cover events for magazines and websites, related to this domain they can specialize in Architectural Journalism. Within the broadcasting industry, production designers in the film and TV industry need people who can visualize and produce sets and realistic locations. Architecture graduates could fulfill that brief too. These are just to name a few and the possibilities are numerous.
