Architecture
What is it?
The objective of the architecture degree program is to offer you a fundamental and application-oriented education that provides you with wide-ranging knowledge of traditional and new professional fields in architecture. Basic artistic training, combining practical implementation and theory, is followed by the specialization phase.
Our aim is to enable you to think and act independently in professional practice. In addition, you will acquire artistic and creative skills and the historical references will enable you to develop an understanding of social contexts as well as communicative skills.
What can I do with it?
Graduates of the bachelor's degree program will find career opportunities in architecture and planning offices as well as in the construction industry. The professional tasks involved range from project and cost planning through collaboration on design and construction together with architects to construction and facility management and real estate management.
For degree-seeking students: detailed information on admission requirements, application deadlines, etc. can be found on the German page.
What are the topics?
The architecture degree program is made up of topics and subjects from various areas. Design and general science courses as well as a variety of constructive subjects complement the architectural design. The design project is at the center of our curriculum and is taught in direct contact with the professors in the so-called studio teaching.

Course of study
The study plan offers you an overview of the content and specializations taught in each semester. You can also find further information on course content in the module handbook and the curriculum.
What do we offer?
Studios and HSRM Stadtlabor
The design projects are carried out in the form of studio teaching. This means that all students have a fixed workplace in a shared studio for the entire duration of the semester. There, they work side by side with their fellow students on the same design topic. The design supervision by the lecturers takes place directly in the studio, which enables a continuous exchange and intensive, individual support. Spontaneous discussions, mutual support and joint problem-solving are part of everyday life here - a working environment that brings the design process to life and strengthens collaboration.
The thesis writers can move into a workspace in the HSRM Stadtlabor in the city center (Luisenforum).
Model workshop

Our model workshop offers students extensive opportunities to put their ideas and designs into practice. Our modern equipment allows the precise processing of almost all common model-making materials such as wood, plastics, paper and cardboard. Cutting metals, glass and ceramic materials is also possible with the water jet cutting system.In addition to classic tools such as high-precision circular, band and scroll saws, drilling machines, sanding equipment and a compact paint booth, our workshop has a versatile digital infrastructure. This includes CNC milling machines, laser cutters, state-of-the-art 3D printers and a waterjet cutting system.

If you have completed credits at Hochschule RheinMain in another degree program or at another university or outside the university, these can be recognized for your studies upon application. The relevant criteria must be met and you must already be enrolled in a degree program at Hochschule RheinMain.
Please note: Knowledge and skills from initial school education and from technical secondary school training cannot be credited to a university degree course (Section 3 (2) (1) of the Recognition Statutes).
In order for recognition to be granted, it must be clear where and in which subject which achievement was made. Here is an example of what this comparison could look like. This can be submitted either as a Word or Excel table.
Please refer to the information on the central page of the higher education institution.
You submit the recognition application online in the recognition tool KommA. The recognition procedure usually takes six weeks. The HDS account of Hochschule RheinMain is required to log in:
Here you can find an explanatory video about KommA
