Profile
The Faculty of Architecture (WAPW) is one of the oldest faculties within the Warsaw University of Technology, with a student enrolment of approximately 1200. It is a centre for teaching and research in architectural design, history and theory, offers advanced degrees at Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral levels, where Architecture is understood as a cultural practice involving both speculative intelligence and practical know-how.
Students at the School of Architecture benefit from its relatively small size. In recent years the School has annually enrolled approximately 180 students. Graduate and undergraduate programs in the School share faculty course offerings and facilities, which fosters close relationship among all students in the School.
The students of Architecture study architectural issues. These start from the small industrial forms and interior design, residential, public, retail and industrial buildings, landscaping and green areas, sports grounds and facilities, rural and urban planning. Apart from design, students are taught a following scope of issues:
• the Theory and History of Architecture, Urban Forms and Fine Arts,

• Fine Arts and Visual Arts (drawing, painting, sculpture, computer visualisations),
