Dates and Deadlines
Against the backdrop of a profession whose image is constantly changing, the Faculty is guided by its claim to provide generalist academic architecture studies in the form of its Master program. Here, the focus is on design and structural aspects, which account for over half of the program content. In cooperative ventures that can change in terms of subject and people, all our faculty put current issues in construction, in social and technological change in society, and in maintaining our cultural heritage, as well as the cultural and historical identity of cities and regions, at the center of their teaching and research.
Degree Content
There are five main topics within the Faculty of Architecture:
- Cultural and Historical Fundamentals
