Kurzbeschreibung

Architecture focuses on the design, creative design and construction of buildings. Architects are responsible for building activities, requiring a profound knowledge and a clear sense of judgement concerning material and construction, input and effects, management and economy as well as sustainability and acceptance.

In the Bachelor’s degree programme in Architecture, students learn the fundamental concepts of architecture and construction, including the development of analogous and digital architectural drafting as well as the foundations of the building trade, design, the history of architecture, and urban design. Understanding planning procedures and forms of participation is as much a requirement of the subject as a basic knowledge of land use and development planning. In this degree programme, students learn the skills required to take into account and coordinate these specialised areas of planning.

No internship is required for the Bachelor of Architecture degree programme. Nevertheless, internships also enrich the study life and can be credited as a preliminary internship for the Master's programme in Architecture and Urban Design.

Studienverlauf

Students taking the Bachelor’s degree programme in Architecture acquire a sound understanding of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in History and Theory, Design and Architectural Drafting, Construction and Engineering, applied in the context of practical and research-oriented study projects.

In parallel to attending courses to learn basic knowledge, students practice applying the knowledge gained in a module on Interactions, offered in cooperation with a variety of subject areas. From the fifth semester, students choose from a wide range of compulsory elective modules, enabling them to pursue their particular interests and specialise in certain areas. Students are examined by continuous assessment, for example in supervised assignments, written examinations, project drafts and presentations. The programme concludes with a Bachelor’s thesis.
