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.

- Pathway

- Why we classify it this way
- The program page says professional qualification as an architect is acquired only after at least two years of professional practice following the degree.“Nach mindestens zweijähriger Berufspraxis können Sie die Berufsbefähigung als Architektin oder Architekt erwerben.”Source

No total is shown: the sources do not state a whole-program figure and the published duration and fee basis do not support a calculation.
Studio fees, materials, model-making, printing, software, equipment, field trips and residencies are not listed by the institution on the pages we checked; architecture students often meet such costs.
