BFH-AHB launches minor for a specialisation in studies
Study architecture and specialise in digital building? Become a civil or timber engineer with an understanding of circular and sustainable construction? The new minor offered by BFH-AHB makes it possible. With the two minors "Circular and Sustainable Construction" and "Integral Digital Construction" offered by the Department of Architecture, Wood and Construction, Bachelor's students can now set individual focal points and sharpen their profile for the working world of tomorrow. The study model will start in autumn 2023, with the first implementation of the minor in spring 2025.
In future, students at BFH-AHB will be able to deepen and broaden their studies in architecture, wood technology or civil engineering with an interdisciplinary minor. The minors “Circular and Sustainable Construction” and “Integral Digital Construction” are to be understood as minor subjects or small study programmes that provide students with an additional qualification. By choosing the minor, students set an individual thematic focus for their personal, specialised profile.
Interdisciplinary, forward-looking, networked
A minor not only increases the individualisation of studies, but also the interdisciplinarity. In the minor, students from the disciplines of architecture, wood technology and civil engineering deal with a current topic in depth across subject boundaries. In exchange with partners from business, research and politics, they look at it from different perspectives. Together, the students from the three disciplines gain new insights and develop solutions for complex future challenges. Last but not least, they gain important experience in interdisciplinary cooperation.
With the minor, the BFH-AHB prepares students for the working world of tomorrow, because circular and sustainable construction as well as integral digital construction are becoming increasingly important. The collaboration of architects, wood engineers and civil engineers plays a central role here: together they can drive the digital transformation of construction and lead circular, sustainable building projects to success. Students deal with these future topics throughout their studies. In the minor, they delve into them and use the potential of collaboration to responsibly shape the world of construction.
