Short info about the course of study

The course of study

The Master's programme aims at a scientific-theoretical and also practice-oriented specialisation and additional qualification. The study objectives focus on broadening expertise with a greater specialisation in the field of ‘Planning and building in existing buildings’. The Master's programme serves to improve the methodological-analytical skills and at the same time the required context-specific application. In particular, the project orientation and practical relevance of the study projects should support this qualification goal. By focusing on the topic of "Planning and building in existing buildings", it is possible to gain competence in dealing with building materials according to urban planning, functional, constructive-technical, design, but also theoretical aspects.

Career prospects

Already today, the predominant activity of architects takes place in the building stock: Repairs, modernizations, conversions and supplementary new buildings have to deal with the existing urban and building structure, and the resilience of cities also plays a major role here. Reconstruction, dismantling and shrinkage processes in the urban and building stock must be organized, properly controlled and carried out.

Study organisation

Examination regulations/course plans/module manuals/internship regulations

Examination regulations (POs) define the basic structures of a course of study (e.g. entry requirements and content to be studied). For students, the current version of a PO automatically applies when enrolling in the first semester. This means that even in the event of changes to the PO during the course of your studies, the original version according to which you have registered is valid (provided that this PO does not expire).
The respective course plan represents the recommended exemplary course of study in the individual subjects and is part of a PO.
Additional regulations and details for each module to be studied can be found in the module manuals (e.g. prerequisites for taking a written examination or information on the content of the modules/events, ...).
The traineeship regulations define the conditions under which the mandatory or optional traineeships must be completed.

Before the start of the lecture period, we recommend that you at least look at the course schedule of your course of study so that you know which modules are planned for the start of your studies.
