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
- Bachelor’s degreeA first degree entered after secondary school.
- Pathway
- Pre-professionalA first stage. The source says further study or a further qualification is needed before registration or licensure.
- Why we classify it this way
- The program page says the bachelor's alone is not sufficient for chamber entry and independent practice, which require at least eight semesters of architecture study.“Zur Kammer-Eintragung und Tätigkeit als selbständige*r Architekt*in genügt der Bachelor-Abschluss nicht, da man hierfür mindestens acht Semester Architektur studiert haben muss.”Source
- Previous architecture degree required
- No
- Applicants without an architecture degree
- Not published
- Further professional requirements
- The bachelor's alone does not suffice for chamber entry; in Hesse ten semesters (B.Sc. and M.Sc.) are regarded as the regular degree; graduates get a guaranteed place in the department's master's.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
Not published on the program’s source pages: tuition, portfolio requirement, accreditation or validation record.
