Architecture
What is it?
The bachelor's degree program in Architecture provides you with a solid and practice-oriented education. A strong foundation in architectural principles enables you to shape your individual professional profile. At our university of applied sciences, theory and practice are closely intertwined: you’ll apply what you learn directly in hands-on design projects that deepen your understanding. We foster independent thinking and professional responsibility. Throughout your studies, you’ll enhance your creative and technical skills, explore historical contexts, and gain insight into the social and communicative dimensions of architecture.
What can I do with it?
This degree opens up career paths in architectural and planning firms, public authorities, and the construction industry, with the possibility of establishing your own practice as a freelance architect. You can also follow up your bachelor’s with a master’s to deepen your knowledge and skills.
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.
