Graduates have highly specialised knowledge in the creative, technical and scientific-theoretical areas of architecture for different areas of application such as object and detailed planning, urban and spatial planning, as well as landscape architecture.
They are able to demonstrate their competence in research and innovation and at the interfaces to other disciplines through scientifically correct formulation and underpinning of arguments and method-based problem solving.
The Master’s Programme Architecture expands and deepens the basic knowledge acquired during the Bachelor’s programme and promotes an independent, scientifically and artistically sound, individual way of working. The programme imparts key competences and advanced subject-specific and specialist knowledge in the practice and theory of architecture in consideration of artistic, scientific, technical, social, economic and ecological aspects.
In accordance with the principle of research-led teaching, the Master’s programme offers the advanced study of a focus topic with individually selectable variants. Students of the Master’s programme can develop integrative design- and problem-solving skills in architecture and urban planning as well as broad (multidisciplinary) contexts and for developing skills for integrating knowledge and dealing with complexity.
The completion of the Master’s Programme Architecture qualifies for the leading and responsible implementation of projects in architecture, urban development, spatial planning, regional development and related disciplines, for independent or leading work in architecture or planning offices, in construction and planning departments of companies and in public administration, for project development and consulting, for product development in the building and design industry, for work in the field of architecture and media, architectural journalism, architectural theory, architectural criticism, architectural history, building research and monument protection, in the creative industries as well as for teaching and research at universities, academies, technical colleges and HTL higher vocational schools.
