Architecture (in German) (B. Eng.)

In the Architecture (B. Eng., German-language) programme, it is possible to start your studies only in winter semester.

As the programme is not subject to admission restrictions, applications must be submitted exclusively via the PRIMUSS application portal THI. Registration with DOSV/hochschulstart is therefore not necessary.

Starting in the 4th semester, German-speaking and international students enrolled in the primarily English-language Bachelor's programme in Architecture study together! In the higher semesters, modules are mainly taught in German, but some are also taught in English. English-language courses prepare students for a global working environment, while German-language content places greater emphasis on local industry relevance. This model increases the university's appeal to a diverse student body.
