Employers positively evaluate the readiness and ability of graduates of the study programme architecture and urbanism to apply well and creatively the acquired theoretical knowledge in the field of architectural and urbanism, interior design as well as from the completion of exterior spaces of buildings. 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 ● Siebert Talaš Architects ● Monuments Board of the Slovak Republic ● Department of the Chief Architect of the City of Bratislava, Capital of the Slovak Republic, Bratislava
