Qualification and professional pathway

Pathway is classified only from a statement on an official page. A degree title such as B.Arch, BA, BSc, M.Arch or MSc does not decide it, and no degree by itself grants permission to practise as an architect.

Degree level
Master’s degreeA postgraduate degree. Entry requirements differ widely: some accept graduates of any subject, others require a prior architecture degree.
Pathway
Professional pathwayThe program itself is a professionally accredited or validated degree in the stated jurisdiction, as shown by the source quoted on the page. Further steps are normally still required before registration.
Why we classify it this way
The page says the master's, combined with a practice phase, qualifies for recognition of the title 'Architekt:in' and independent practice after admission by the chamber.“Der Master qualifiziert dich in Kombination mit einer Praxisphase zur Anerkennung des Titels”Source
