Architecture offers an extensive field of activity: on a small and large scale, architects have an almost infinite number of design options open to them. The demands they have to meet have become more diverse over the years. They range from resource-conserving design to technical and legal aspects of planning to the involvement of all parties involved. As the only architectural education in Austria in rural areas, the degree program "Architecture" is a contact point especially for those interested in rural (regional) building.
The bachelor's program focuses on design and construction planning skills, which students learn in workshops and project work with a high degree of practical relevance. Design theory, building theory, history of building culture, structural engineering, materials science and structural design are important basics which are at the beginning of an architectural education. Students enjoy working in small groups and also come into contact with civil engineers as part of their interdisciplinary studies. The combination of architectural theory and engineering competence thus favours a comprehensively oriented teaching, which at this place of study is particularly dedicated to building with resources that have always been growing and dedicated right on the doorstep.
A particular focus of the course is social building. Creating living space is the most original task of architecture, the right to housing a human right. It is about shaping our living environment, social responsibility and holistic thinking. Projects with real tasks on socially relevant topics teach students responsibility and attitude towards society.
A society, by the way, which is increasingly moving to cities and leaving rural areas behind. This migration brings with it problems that architecture can counter with regional development strategies, the building culture of rural areas, knowledge of materials and craftsmanship, and regional value creation. Which possibilities and strategies can be considered is also part of the course. The motto is: "We design living space".

Study & Work - is that possible?
With over 80 Study & Work partner companies and organizations, Carinthia University of Applied Sciences offers first-year students of a bachelor's or master's degree program the opportunity to combine their studies with a career.
This attractive offer gives students the chance to immediately put theoretical knowledge into practice and gain professional experience in Carinthia's leading companies.
For first-year students of the bachelor's program in "Architecture" without any subject-specific previous knowledge, voluntary preparatory courses (so-called bridge courses) in mathematics, natural sciences and civil engineering are offered before the start of studies (in August/September).
The curriculum has a modular structure. Each module extends over one or two semesters and contains networked courses that are characterized by the joint acquisition of competencies. Practical relevance and project-oriented work promote initiative, independence and networked and result-oriented thinking.
In the 5th semester a professional internship of 20 weeks is to be completed. The internship serves to gain personal experience in the professional world and to learn about technical and economic decision-making processes as well as to develop social competence. At the same time, the internship enables students to make first contacts for their later professional career. The professional internship can also be completed abroad.
After passing the final examination of the bachelor's degree program in "Architecture", graduates are awarded the academic degree "Bachelor of Science in Engineering" or "BSc" for short. Building on the bachelor's degree, students in the master's program have the opportunity to delve into freely selectable specialist areas (e.g. social building). After passing the final examination of the master's degree program "Architecture", the graduates are awarded the academic degree "DiplomingenieurIn für technisch/wissenschaftliche Berufe".

The bachelor's program "Architecture" is a training centre for building culture in rural areas and focuses specifically on teaching design and construction planning skills. Through the interaction of architecture and engineering competence, graduates are well prepared for the challenges of the architectural profession on both the design and technical levels. Solution-oriented learning, workshops and complex project work promote initiative and independent work. Students acquire skills in the areas of presentation and design, drafting, structural engineering planning and construction management.
In addition to the sustainable planning and implementation of new buildings, students also deal with the sustainable renovation of old buildings. In addition, special attention is given to the topics of regionality and social building. Excursions on architectural topics and cooperation with universities are fixed points of the course. A special feature is the place of study: The "Spittl" in Spittal an der Drau impresses with an extraordinary and inspiring atmosphere.
What students should bring to their studies:
After successful completion of their studies, graduates have the following skills and knowledge:
We give you tips for the perfect study entry and help you from your application through scholarships to housing search.
If you are already in the middle of studying, we would like to show you the student life on campus from its most beautiful side. Projects, FH events, Erasmus and ÖH-reports can also be found here.
For graduates we have the latest news about job platforms, career fairs and all news about ALUMNI.
Architects work in a challenging and creative professional field and play a decisive role in shaping it. The range of their tasks is fascinating, specialisation possibilities offer a wide range of opportunities. In this profession, it is important to assume responsibility for the building culture in a balance between the common good and individual, free interest.

The comedy town of Spittal in the Carinthian Oberland with its 16,000 inhabitants knows perfectly well how to combine living tradition with a culturally conscious present.
It is not without reason that the university town of Spittal, situated between education, culture and nature, presents itself as a true experience for body and soul. Cultural awareness, living tradition and a touch of southern serenity - these are the characteristics that make the "little historical town" so worth living in. Lake Millstätter See invites you to swim in summer, in winter the Goldeck is waiting for you to enjoy skiing. Shopping, cultivated gastronomy and cultural activities complement this perfectly. Studying in Spittal an der Drau is therefore a true experience for body, mind and soul!

The Villach region combines tradition, cosmopolitanism and quality of life with the advantages of an innovative business location. Villach, a small town with about 60,000 inhabitants, is an international high-tech location with groundbreaking cooperation between science and industry and is also increasingly developing into a start-up town.
Situated directly at the intersection of three cultures, Villach, situated on the Drava river, is an important traffic junction in the Alps-Adriatic region. This special geographical location and the beautiful landscape around Villach and in the federal state of Carinthia have made the region a popular holiday destination for generations, further beyond the borders. The drinking water quality of the lakes and the particularly clean air make Villach and its surroundings an environmental paradise.
In addition to its geographical advantages, Austria also leads the world in terms of its social and health care system and is considered a particularly safe, prosperous and liveable country.
Despite the above-average prosperity and the comprehensive state social benefits, Villach compares favourably with many international destinations. The "small town bonus" comes into its own here and makes everyday life affordable.
