About
We train architects and specialists in urban spaces design - specialists who are capable of creating a harmonious and functional environment for human life. The program is suitable for those who have creative ambitions, a desire to bring their ideas to life, and a willingness to study and work hard. This profession requires not only creativity, but also technical knowledge, special skills, and perseverance.
Over four years, each student completes several projects, moving from simple objects to more complex, and building a portfolio. Projects made during university studies often serve as the best recommendation for employment. Therefore, we pay a lot of attention to design work, and our lecturers strive to reveal the individuality of each future architect.
Students design sports facilities, hotels, and cultural facilities, modern public spaces in Tula and Central Federal District, which admire citizens and tourists.
Program Description
Creative arts classes are held in small groups, so lecturers can see the progress of each student, help and guide each of them individually.
Students participate in case tournaments held by industrial partners, develop conceptual and technical projects, create plans, drawings, 3D models and layouts under the guidance of university professors and present their projects to customers, organizations and other interested parties.
The program focuses on the formation of individual trajectories and practice-oriented learning.
Students work both as a team and independently, while carrying out projects based on real orders, participate in architectural competitions and exhibitions.
The university is equipped with drawing, painting, and sculpture workshops and computer rooms for classes.

Training
In the first year, students study mainly general education and humanities subjects, but also some special subjects such as Sculpture, Drawing, Painting, and an Introduction to Architectural Design.
Starting from the second year, there are more and more professional disciplines in the schedule: Theory of Architectural Composition, Typology of Buildings and Structures, Architectural Graphics, Design and many other special subjects. In the senior years, students study the most important subject of Architectural Design, and all other core subjects of the program serve to advance the student in this subject.
Training ends with a pre-graduate internship and a final qualifying thesis in the form of a project. Students choose the topic of the thesis together with the head from the department's database, within the framework of All-Russian competitions or at the suggestion of partner organizations. Within the framework of the FQT, our students carry out projects:
Design of children's health camp in the village of Bunyrevo in the Tula region.
Project of a recreation center on the territory of the Pavlovskaya Floodplain Nature Park, Ryazan (as part of the competitive training project "My River. Ryazan 2024/25").
Design of an educational and sports building based on a swimming pool on the territory of the Pervomaisk Cadet School named after Marshal of the Soviet Union V.I. Chuikov in Pervomaisky village.
Design of a cultural and leisure center in Ryazan.
Design of a cottage settlement "Krivtsovo Park" near the village. Krivtsovo, Tula region.

Students
Our students have creative ambitions and desire to constantly create something new, and the best at that. They are motivated by desire to be a well-rounded person, because the profession of an architect is at the intersection between an engineer and an artist. Therefore, they are ready to constantly learn new things, look for original solutions, notice details and fantasize, and also know how to work in a team and generate ideas.
After Graduation

Professional Path
A certified specialist can choose from dozens of diverse career paths, from working with virtual reality to creating smart city systems. Architectural education forms a unique combination of technical and creative skills that are highly valued not only in the construction industry.
The main directions of the architect's work today are:
- Residential and Public Buildings Design
- Urban Planning and Urban Studies
- Landscape Architecture and Public Spaces Design
- Restoration and Preservation of Architectural Heritage
- Interior Design and Creation of Unique Spaces
- Parametric Architecture and Digital Modeling
In the main areas, graduates can work in private and public organizations, architectural bureaus, construction companies, design studios and restoration workshops.
- Government organizations: work in government agencies or municipal administrations, planning urban development and monitoring the compliance of construction with legislation and safety standards.
- Architectural firms: develop projects of various scales - from residential buildings to commercial complexes and government facilities.
- Construction companies: work on construction sites and interaction with engineers to ensure proper implementation of projects.
- Education and research: teaching at universities and colleges, as well as conducting academic research in the field of architecture.
- Private practice: conducting independent practice and carrying out various projects.
- Interior design: specializing in interior design, creating unique and functional spaces for residential or commercial premises.
- Restoration and preservation: restoration and preservation of historical buildings and architectural monuments.
Where to realize yourself
Architecture is the most ancient art of designing and constructing various buildings and structures. At the same time, it is a scientific discipline that addresses the challenges of creating spatial environment for comfortable living. Advances in artificial intelligence technologies will significantly expand the architects` capabilities, improving design and planning process, as well as boosting productivity. Due to its ability to process large volumes of data, AI can provide architects with a wide range of design options taking into account criteria such as budget, space requirements, and sustainability goals calculated as part of the design process.
