After completing your Bachelor programme at Münster University of Applied Sciences, you will possess skills in the various areas of architecture, including design, construction and technical skills. You will be able to identify architectural problems, develop and communicate solutions, and manage complex projects. During the process, you will weigh up the different approaches and develop your own architectural position.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, you will be able to enter the world of work straight away. Possible fields include building planning, site management, project development and management, facility management or creative occupational fields – our application-oriented study programme will ensure that you are perfectly prepared for this work. Alternatively, you may want to enhance your knowledge and pursue a Master’s degree, which would enable you to use the protected professional title of ‘Architect’. With this title, you would be able to work as a self-employed architect.

In the Bachelor programme in Architecture, you will learn basic expertise and methodological skills in the core areas of the building and construction industry.

Which factors make a building safe and stable? You will learn the answers to questions like this in your first academic year, in modules on Materials Technology, Structures, and Structural Design. At a later stage of the programme, you will take modules from the multifaceted area of architecture – from Construction Management to the History of Architecture. Our wide range of courses will give you considerable freedom and many options: after all, many roads lead to Rome!

Our ‘toolbox’ of skills will accompany you throughout your studies. This toolbox will help you to understand and take in the complex design process – a central element of the course. You will start using these tools in the first semester, beginning with simple spatial exercises in design basics, and will progress to design individual buildings and even plan a whole city.
