Bachelor Education
The bachelor programme begins with three academic areas: design and construction, engineering disciplines, and historical-social disciplines. The first year serves to establish a common basis in the development of perception and design skills, and in the methodology of architectural design. The year concludes with ‘basis’ examinations in all subjects. In the second and third years, skills are reinforced and expanded upon, and students gain the foundations for a master’s degree.
Written tests are given for all mandatory subjects in the second and third years. Throughout the programme, design and construction studios foster an individual way of working, which relates to specific architectural issues and integrates disciplines involved in the construction process. The bachelor's degree also requires six-months of additional professional experience (internship) in the field of architecture. Two seminar weeks per year enable discussion of closely defined, concrete issues on site in small groups and in direct contact with lecturers.
