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.
Programme selection →What you study
The technical basics are conveyed in six competence areas and deepened in design projects. This includes the respective specific methods and skills as well as a professional field-related qualification including interdisciplinary skills:

Pick programmesCareer
With the achievement of the bachelor's degree, a career entry should be possible in a short time. The completed bachelor’s degree enables students to acquire the skills and abilities required for professional professional practice in the respective professional fields in a supplementary training either in a master’s degree or in business ("learning on the job"). If the direct route to professional practice is chosen, then a supplementary in-service further qualification through suitable further training measures is to be aimed for. The bachelor's degree also allows you to easily switch between universities in the international arena and to switch to related or complementary courses of study. With a subsequent master’s degree in architecture or sustainable design, an internationally recognized, professional qualification (chamber qualification) can be obtained.

Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to C1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application directly to the university until 15.07Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.

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.
