Collaborations

Participate In Internships

We welcome companies to offer undergraduate internships and/or M.Arch structured internship for our students. The 16-week/32-week internship programme takes place every summer from May to August for undergraduates and every fall & spring from September to April for M.Arch students. If you are keen to engage our students, please send your interns job descriptions for us to upload via the internship portal by early Jan/May.

Participate In Capstone Projects

We welcome companies to join our capstone programme by providing 8-month long capstone projects that will commence from January through August. Such projects bring together students from different pillars to work in design teams, contributing their respective expertise and skills to solve real-world challenges. Capstone projects also provide students with a realistic design situation where projects usually span multiple disciplines and require team-based efforts to create a solution. Working in teams of 5 to 7 students, the final-year undergraduate students will learn to apply the principles, concepts, techniques that they have learnt to investigate technical and business challenges faced by companies.

Conduct A Seminar

We welcome established architects to share their vision and wealth of expertise. These seminars aim to inspire and provide insights into the intricacies and possibilities of architecture. They receive SIA accreditation for CPD points and are open to public.

Deliver A Lecture

We welcome speakers with proven expertise to deliver in-class guest lectures that supplement our rigorous curriculum. Through these lectures, the speaker will be able to engage with our students personally by sharing real-world insights, broadening their perspectives of their curriculum content and enlivening the classroom with different points of views in the process.
