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 graduates with a preceding architecture bachelor's meet the requirements for the title of architect and, after a two-year practice phase, have the qualification for licensing in Germany and the EU.“Nach einer anschließenden zweijährigen Praxisphase haben sie die Qualifikation zur Berufsbefähigung und Lizenzierung als Architektin bzw. Architekt in Deutschland und der EU erworben.”Source
- Previous architecture degree required
- Yes
- Applicants without an architecture degree
- Not published
- Further professional requirements
- A two-year practice phase after the degree.Source

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.
