Bachelor of Architecture
Architecture has been defined diversely throughout history, and its practice has always been shaped by the advancement of innovative technology. Technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), has been dominating every aspect of our built environment. CamTech’s Architecture Program is designed to equip students with skills to use the technology ethically, and the core of it is the smart Design Studio which encourages students to have in-depth understanding of building structures and critical issues in architectural design. Students will be able to immerse themselves in new cutting-edge technology in construction and produce more sustainable buildings locally and internationally. We empower students to use new digital architecture technology such as AI, data analysis, 3D modeling for design, virtual reality, and so on to enable optimal design, sustainable architecture, energy efficient safe environment, and time saving. CamTech offers work-integrated learning experience to develop students’ employability, entrepreneurial, and leadership skills.
Bachelor of Interior Design
Interior Design at CamTech University focuses on the creation of innovative and exciting lively interior spaces through the adaptation and spatial arrangement of the buildings. The program is designed to equip students with in-depth understanding of interior space, the relationship between the exterior and interior environment, the use of materials and its technique for sustainability, the practical skills and theoretical knowledge required to pursue a career in interior architecture and other related fields. Digital technologies such as augmented and virtual reality (AR & VR) will be utilised to make interior spaces more intuitive in the real world before they are constructed. We empower students to use new digital architecture technology such as AI, data analysis, 3D modeling for design, virtual reality, and so on to enable optimal design, sustainable architecture, energy efficient safe environment, and time saving. CamTech offers work-integrated learning experience to ensure students’ employability, entrepreneurial and leadership skills.
