Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) offers 7 Bachelor's programmes:
The Bachelor in Architecture is organised at the Academy of Architecture, on the Mendrisio campus.

Credits
All courses are awarded with ECTS points. The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) guarantees that credits are compatible and transferable within all European universities.

Educational model
International faculty teach students with an interdisciplinary, engaging and interactive approach. The USI educational model is enhanced by a system that closely accompanies students in their learning path, with small classes enabling group exercises and direct dialogue with professors.
