... develop, design, design, construct, calculate, manage, organize, build ... The architect's job profile is broad, the tasks are varied, the places of work are regional and international. Therefore, the aim of the training is to be able to solve a variety of planning tasks creatively and professionally after completing the degree. The course imparts theoretical and practical knowledge, creative and design skills as well as interdisciplinary insights into the professional disciplines of the planning and execution process. Due to the eight-semester course, registration as an architect in the Chamber of Architects is already possible after two years according to current legislation.

The conceptual design in and with the space arises from understanding. The sustainability of a design as a central discipline is therefore measured by its sociological added value for society and its technical feasibility.

The eight-semester Bachelor's degree in Architecture at the FHWS is committed to this traditional standard. The broad spectrum of teaching content forms the basis for the generalist architectural profession.

In addition to conveying creative and artistic aspects, conceptual strategies and knowledge of traditional and contemporary trends in architecture and urban planning, the teaching concept focuses on solid technical training including digitization. Both the teaching profiles of the lecturers and their focus areas and practical experience reflect this broad range of disciplines.

Cooperation projects with municipalities or private sponsors in terms of applied research, architecture excursions at home and abroad as well as the Bauhütte lecture series are, in addition to teaching, further pillars of a realistic, current and future-oriented architecture discussion at our university.

An average of 60 students study each semester. Contact with fellow students and support from the lecturers is close and personal. Lectures, seminars and working in small design groups form the format for teamwork. Furthermore, large work rooms offer students a forum to work independently and cooperatively, to learn and to celebrate.
