I have interest in architecture but parent are recommending me doing engineering (due to low wages in arch). so,I'm planning to do civil engineering and then masters in architecture abroad.Is there will be difference between civil-architecture and arch-arch? do you recommend?pros and cons? worth it?
Hello Aspirant,
A Civil Engineering bachelor's degree followed by a master's in Architecture is a valid path. The main difference is that a B.Arch focuses on design, while Civil Engineering emphasizes structure and safety. Your combination would make you a stronger candidate in firms that need both design and structural expertise. It is a worthwhile path, though it will take a longer time to get licensed.
