Study Info

The course spans a total of  4 semesters with mandatory attendance at all lectures. The courses always start with the Winter semester in autumn of each year. The curriculum is based on the fundamental bachelor study “Architecture” and is designed for a deepening of already acquired knowledge and a further growth of competences and skills. The curriculum has a modular structure. Each module spreads over one or two semesters and contains related subjects characterised by a common competence profile. Interdisciplinary project work is organised between modules.

In Semester 1 previously acquired knowledge is strengthened and selectively deepened.
Semester 2 is devoted to a complex team project which lasts for a period of 10 weeks. In addition the semester focuses on the extension of construction business management and planning competences.
Semester 3 provides competence extension within the field of Structural Restoration and Redevelopment and offers a choice of modules in the areas of infrastructure and the real estate industry or in the areas of energy efficiency and sustainability.
