Architecture, B.Sc.
The central content of architecture is the design, creation and construction of buildings. Architects are responsible for a construction process that requires in-depth knowledge and clear judgment about material and construction, use and effects, management and economy, sustainability and acceptance.
In the bachelor's degree in architecture, students get to know the basic concepts of architecture and construction, including the development of analog and digital representation techniques as well as the basics of construction, construction theory, architectural history and urban planning. Understanding planning processes and forms of participation is just as much a part of the subject as learning the basics of land use and development planning. The course prepares you for the consideration and coordination of different subject plans.

Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.

How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
