Your studies

In the Master’s program in Architecture & Urban Design, you gain in-depth knowledge in architecture, urban planning, and building construction 🏛️🌆. From the very first semester, you engage intensively with core subjects:

  • Architectural Theory 📝 – Reflecting on concepts and theories in architecture
  • Building Construction I + II 🏗️ – Deepening technical and constructive skills
  • Urban Analysis and Representation 🌇 – Analyzing urban spaces and visualizing urban concepts

In the second semester, the focus shifts to a real-world building project, which you analyze, design, and implement both at the university and on-site. Elective modules allow you to tailor your studies and set additional personal focus areas 🎨📐.

At the end of the program, you develop your Master’s thesis, integrating all acquired skills into your own architectural project. This prepares you to independently realize creative and well-considered architecture and urban planning projects ✨.
