Architecture is one of the oldest engineering disciplines known to man, and the monuments left by civilizations: ancient Yemeni, such as Sheba, Himyar, Ma'in, and Hadhramaut, Pharaonic, Mesopotamian, Chinese, Indian, South American, Greek, Roman, and others, still bear witness to the splendor and creativity of the architect across the world. The ages, from the houses carved into the rock, to the Temple of the Sun in Marib, to the Egyptian pyramids, which were classified as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, to the Great Wall of China, passing through the Taj Mahal and hundreds of historical cities and castles spread throughout the world . Architecture has witnessed development over time, as man sought to make construction compatible with the environment in which he lived, by exploiting the place and local building materials to suit the surrounding climate and environment. About 200 years ago, architecture became an independent branch taught in universities around the world, and studying architecture became a dream for students who wanted to study this distinguished specialty . The Department of Architecture at Emirates International University is one of the distinguished departments that provides a suitable educational environment for all students enrolled in the department . The department accepts male and female students applying to study in the department's two programs : - Bachelor’s program in Architectural Engineering, the duration of study is 4 years . - Bachelor’s program in Interior Design Engineering, the duration of study is 4 years .
