METHODOLOGY
BAM’s methodology is based on the adjustment of different indicators used to compare the world’s leading universities, architecture schools and Master’s programs. This methodology consists of a list of 11 indicators that focus on the quality and internationality of the faculty, alumni and study program. Thanks to this methodology, we are able to establish criteria to effectively and objectively compare study plans which despite being different, all focus on the academic development of better architects.
EXPERTS
BAM is endorsed 100% by expert professors from around the world, who were given the task of developing, supervising and validating the study methodology and results. Some of the experts of the BAM Experts Committee are:
