Additional information

Learn to combine architecture with sustainability

The first semester comprises the modules Architectural Theory, Building Construction I + II and Urban Analysis and Representation. Together we focus on a reflective approach to architecture and the city: we develop architectural ideas, concepts and realise them in architectural design. In the second semester, we deal with an existing building in the steps of analysis, design and building construction. We work at the university and in the building itself. Various compulsory electives round off the semester before you start working your thesis.

Become an urban planner, architect, and more

With a Master's degree in Architecture – Design for the Built Environment, you will be equipped for an increasingly globalised and international world. You will become adept at dealing with people from other cultures and will be able to utilise this potential together.
