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
- 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 the eight-semester bachelor's qualifies for the protected profession of architect under EU standards and, with the two-year professional practice, meets the criteria for entry in the German architects' lists.“Der Bachelorabschluss erfüllt im Zusammenhang mit dem zweijährigen Berufspraktikum nach Art. 46 BARL die Kriterien der EU-Richtlinie zur Eintragung in die Architektenlisten der deutschen Architektenkammern.”Source
- Previous architecture degree required
- No
- Applicants without an architecture degree
- Not published
- Further professional requirements
- Entry in the architects' lists requires the two-year professional practice under Art. 46 of the EU recognition directive after the bachelor's; a five-month Berufspraktikum is part of the bachelor'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, full-time or part-time options, portfolio requirement.
