Rural areas as well as social issues are increasingly in the social focus and also in the focus of the Master's program in Architecture. In the master's program, the design and theoretical skills acquired in the bachelor's program are increasingly discussed in a networked manner and worked on in design projects.
The competencies include design, draft, building culture and history, architectural theory, building typologies, society and ethics, structural engineering, structural planning, building physics and building services engineering, management, process design and communication. Building on the contents of the Bachelor's program in "Architecture", Master's students learn how to sharpen the arguments of their design decisions and provide evidence for them. At the end of a master's degree program, students should be able to identify tasks and develop projects from them, as well as to carry out planning and design in a high-quality and sustainable manner.
They are supported by committed teachers and experts with a high practical relevance. The network of the course ranges from local building culture professionals to architectural institutions operating throughout Europe. Through exhibitions and lectures, students gain new perspectives and approaches and broaden their horizons. The numerous excursions, which are fixed points in the education, also contribute to this: Cultural tours of buildings, visits to building sites, exhibitions, specialist discussions and company visits in Germany and abroad demonstrate the diversity of the architectural profession.
An important part of this profession is the awareness that our living spaces shape our actions. Especially as a training centre for building culture in rural areas, the course focuses on regional value chains. Students will gain an understanding of materials, craftsmanship and construction methods and their effects on architectural design from the master's degree. They also acquire social and communicative skills. The advantages of the bachelor's program - studying in small groups, the atmospheric study location "Spittl", the projects with real tasks on a scale of 1:1 - are also firmly anchored in the master's program.

The master's program "Architecture" builds on the bachelor's program of the same name and focuses on the areas of "Social Building" and "Regional Value Creation". Students deal with the diverse organisation in the structure of planning processes in architecture. In addition, social, economic, legal and technical developments in architectural and urban planning tasks are dealt with during the two-year course.
In addition to the sustainable planning and implementation of new buildings, students also deal with the sustainable renovation of old buildings. In practice-oriented project work, students make contact with decision-makers from the fields of education, tourism, business, politics and local government. The mastery of the English language and the acquisition of communication skills round off the qualification profile of the students. Their degree gives them an EU-wide recognized architectural degree.
What students should bring to their studies:
After successful completion of their studies, graduates have the following skills and knowledge:
The training meets the increasingly complex requirements in the field of architecture to a high degree. This emphasises the quality of its thematic focus on "rural and social building" as well as the networking with civil engineers. The course of studies prepares students in a practical manner for professional practice in the following areas:
In contrast to the existing university education, the compact architecture course at the FH Carinthia in Spittal breaks new ground in the following points:
The holistic view of design and construction is consistently demanded. For this reason, engineering and business competence is incorporated into the architectural education in a practical manner. This creates special synergies for later professional implementation. In project work, approaches to solutions for complex tasks from practical experience are developed by students with university lecturers and lecturers. In addition, students acquire social and communicative skills. The graduates prove their scientific qualification in a final diploma thesis (Master's Thesis).
EU-recognised architectural studies
The study of architecture (master's degree) at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences is recognised throughout Europe according to the EU professional qualification guidelines (2005/36/EC). The same admission regulations for taking the civil engineering examination apply to graduates as to university graduates.
The successful completion of the Master's degree program in Architecture subsequently entitles the holder to pursue doctoral studies in accordance with § 6 FHStG (4).
Of course, graduates of the Master's program in Architecture can also go into self-employment after passing the civil engineer or master builder examination.

Richard WoditschThe 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.
