The creation of the School of Architecture at the URV - School of Architecture of Reus, in 2005-2006 opened the possibility to pursue the studies in architecture from different paths of access to students from south of Catalonia. The school of Architecture of Reus has an adjusted size for an estimated 60 new students per year, in addition to students transferring from architecture or other studies, with proper validation of courses. This determines a very good student / professor ratio, which permits the professors to have direct knowledge of the students and perform a personalized tutoring. This permits giving rise to collaborations, participating in seminars and in more advanced courses, cooperating in research groups.
