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 states that after the master's and at least two years of professional practice graduates may be entered in a state architects' list.“Im Anschluss an das Masterstudium folgt eine mindestens zweijährige berufspraktische Tätigkeit, ehe Sie sich in der Architektenliste eines Bundeslandes eintragen dürfen.”Source
- Previous architecture degree required
- Depends on route
- Applicants without an architecture degree
- Not published
- Further professional requirements
- At least two years of professional practice after the master's before entry in the architects' list of a federal state.Source

Fees and costs
Original currency is authoritative. Each price keeps its basis (per year, per credit, whole program), academic year and student category, and is never converted. Annual tuition and whole-program tuition are different figures.
The institution does not publish tuition for this program on the pages we checked. Ask for current fees, what they include and whether studio, materials, printing, software, equipment and field-trip costs are extra.
Sources and verification
