About the Program

The architectural profession is continually changing. Architectonic and urban development tasks are confronted with political, cultural, technical, economic, social, and ecological changes. These very different and sometimes even conflicting requirements and objectives must be brought together in the design process to create a holistic architectonic solution. This is why design is the focus of the project-based master's program in Architecture. The design tasks are oriented on conceptual work as well as construction and urban surroundings. Architectonic space is understood as a synthesis of conceptual ideas, concepts that organize space, and constructive or urban structure. The master's program is divided into compulsory, compulsory elective, and elective components. The compulsory component totals 84 credit points, which include three large design projects and the research project as well as the master's thesis. Students must also complete a total of 24 credit points in the compulsory elective component, choosing from a set list of modules. The elective component encompasses 12 credit points. As part of the master's program in Architecture, students have the opportunity to take part in a dual degree program with Pontificia Universidad Católica in Santiago/Chile or Tsinghua University in Beijing/China.
