Opinions on the study programme were provided by: - Slovak Chamber of Architects - Metropolitan Institute of Bratislava - Design studio Between - Design studio Ingrid KonradEmployers positively evaluate the readiness and ability of graduates of the study programme Urban design to apply well and creatively the acquired theoretical knowledge to solving specific architectural, urban and resulting technical problems and challenges in the field of architecture and urbanism. Also, employers have an excellent evaluation of their soft skills, especially in the presentation and processing of their ideas, projects in computer programs focused on drawing in 2D, as well as 3D, or in BIM and their other graphics skills. Their knowledge related to the social aspects of design, knowledge of the issues of universal design and physical accessibility of the environment are highlighted. Due to the fact that students already come into contact with the design of real assignments during their studies, they are cooperative in creating project documentation (Belluš studios or in the form of internships in architectural and design studios), so they can very quickly join work teams, take part in work tasks as well as confrontation with challenges. For this reason, the students do not have any problem performing the internship during their studies. - Slovak Chamber of Architects, - Bratislava Metropolitan Institute - Design studio Ingrid Konrad
