Review of B.Arch
Provided by ESN rated 4 out of 5 stars

The bachelor programme of architecture in Tongji University was a 5-year teaching schedule, which taught me the process, method and outcome of architectural design and also urban planning. In 2016 I first took part in the civil engineering programme, and then turned to architecture to pursue design techniques.
