Architecture

Building on the basic knowledge acquired in all relevant topics on the Bachelor's degree in Architecture, the Master's degree program is geared towards students’ increased concentration on individual areas of interest, which are dealt with in depth in lectures, through their own project work and accompanying self-study. The aim of the overall program of specialist areas and the mentoring program, therefore, is based on the interests and competencies of the students on the one hand and the individual focus of the chairs for teaching and research on the other. This allows the students a specialization in work-related problems, which are incorporated in the subject areas covered by the four focus areas of the Faculty of Architecture.

The fundamental objective is, by means of a comprehensive university education, to enable students to assume responsibility with regard to society and the built environment. Graduates will be ready to take up senior management positions in the planning process and to operate successfully and entrepreneurially. The consecutive master's program in architecture will be offered either as a study program that is freely defined together with a mentor or as a program of studies with four defined areas of concentration, each of four semesters. In all fields of specialization, design-oriented project work is the central focus. A high level of commitment is expected of the applicants. Students must also successfully pass the qualification assessment procedure.
