Designing new structures and preserving old ones. Planning, organizing and building residential properties, commercial properties, factories: the work of an architect is as varied as it is challenging and exciting.

The early focus on design, management or technology means that students complete a targeted course suited to their individual preferences, yet without neglecting core competences.

The course establishes a strongly productive and technical relationship with architecture, and at the same time places an emphasis on research.

Holders of the Bachelor of Arts in Architecture can take up qualified employment in an architectural practice. Possible opportunities are as follows (examples from all areas of specialisation):

• Design work in an architectural practice or engineering office (design of new buildings, renovation and conversion schemes, property design, design of temporary structures, town planning projects)
• Design of strategic planning phases, project and pre-project development, building applications, implementation planning, implementation and supervision in the construction process
• Carrying out refurbishment, renovation, conversion and transformation work
• Management and specialist work at the process, project portfolio and project stages
• Project consultancy, support in problem solving in the areas of urban development and construction planning

With the follow-on Master’s degree, the course qualifies participants for the profession of architect, in line with the UIA/UNESCO guidelines.
