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 university states that the master's examination is a professionally qualifying degree that is the basis for admission to the German architects' chambers.“Die Masterprüfung stellt einen berufsbefähigenden Abschluss dar, der Grundlage für die Aufnahme in die deutschen Architektenkammern ist.”Source
