In this article, the authors analyse the application of the business simulation method as a support tool in educating undergraduate architecture students. While running a fictional architectural practice, students learn about the role of an architect in the investment process and are introduced to economic aspects of running a small practice, including the importance of cash flow. They are also made aware about the importance of employability soft skills. The article is based on a simulation tested for several years in teaching classes during which students learn the practical aspects of managing their own architectural design practice, including cost management. A questionnaire survey has been used to assess both the prior knowledge of business principles among the students, as well as the effectiveness of this business simulation method as a learning tool for undergraduate students. Findings indicate that the applied method has improved the employability skills of graduates, in particular with respect to their actual knowledge of practical business skills, including legal, tax and financial issues.
