Admission
Admission to the Master’s programme in Architecture requires a degree from a university of applied sciences or a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from a Swiss or international university. The admission process includes the submission of a portfolio and a personal interview with the programme director.
Programme Structure
Students may begin the programme at the start of any semester. The curriculum is organised in modules: each semester consists of six modules, each completed and assessed as an individual unit.
The full-time programme, including the Master’s thesis, takes a minimum of four semesters and comprises a total of 120 ECTS credits. In the third semester, students have the opportunity to complete an exchange semester at one of our international partner universities.
The part-time programme extends over a minimum of six semesters. During the semester, professional employment may not exceed a workload of 40%. Part-time students have the opportunity to continue their professional work in the office on Wednesdays and Fridays.
The Master’s thesis spans an entire semester. Students planning an independent thesis begin preparation already in the third semester. Upon request, the thesis is supervised by a lecturer from the Institute of Architecture.
Our studios and workshops provide ideal conditions for focused work and inspiring academic exchange.
Language of Instruction
The programme is bilingual, offered in both German and English. Theoretical lectures are held in English. Coursework and examinations may be submitted in either German or English.
Students whose native language is German must demonstrate English proficiency at a minimum level of B2. All other applicants are required to provide proof of English proficiency at level C1 at the beginning of their studies.
