Post 5: Changes to my study programme

 Hello, welcome to my blog. Today I come to comment on some changes that could be introduced in the career I am studying, which is architecture. As a student of this discipline, I have reflected on several improvements that could enrich our training and academic experience.

First of all, I consider that it would be highly beneficial to incorporate subjects related to the use of computer programs. Throughout our career and future professional life, the mastery of digital tools has become essential. Currently, we are required to learn in a self-taught way, which can be a challenge. 

In addition, the length of the degree is a matter of debate. Five and a half years is a considerable investment of time. Compared to other countries, where it is completed in four years, it seems to me that we could reduce the study time without compromising the quality of the training.

Another crucial aspect is the academic load. Architecture is known to be one of the most demanding careers. The constant pressure of projects and studies can affect the quality of life. Many students sacrifice time with friends and family, and sometimes even neglect their basic needs such as eating and sleeping.

As for facilities and infrastructure, at my university, I find them to be precarious. We need more spaces to make our models and projects, as well as adequate study rooms where we can concentrate and rest comfortably.

In short, these are some of the changes that could make a career in architecture more enriching and bearable. It is important that educational institutions and professionals in the field work together to improve the training of future architects.
