Enhancing ukrainian architecture students' professional competence through internship in austrian design bureau

Abstract

This research explores the professional skills developed during an internship at an Austrian architectural firm and how they can be integrated into Ukrainian architectural education. Internships at architectural firms provide essential hands-on experience, exposing students to real-world projects, technical challenges, and collaborative workflows. The study focuses on competencies such as architectural modeling, project management, design methodologies, and effective communication within teams, emphasizing the importance of multilingual proficiency. This research advocates for the integration of these skills into academic curricula to enhance students’ professional competence and better prepare them for the industry.
