The academic offer of the UTEQ continues to increase, this time the authorities of the alma mater have announced the approval of the Higher Education Council - CES for the Architecture degree, which will be in force from May of the next academic period 2022-2023.

The course of study for this degree is ten semesters and will belong to the Faculty of Engineering Sciences.

Yenny Torres Navarrete, academic vice-rector, commented: "Architecture has been in great demand from the local and regional community. Through a research project carried out with high school graduates from our canton and surrounding areas, it became clear that there is a need for university degrees in our locality and we discovered that one of the most sought after is Architecture. Our young people will no longer have to travel to other cities to fulfil their dreams of becoming an architect," said Torres.

The Vice Chancellor also added that they are also working on the creation of the Civil Engineering degree and that once it is approved, places will be made available so that they can apply on the Senescyt platform.
