Architecture and Urban Design

This model is unique in Germany and embodies a teaching concept which aims – in addition to giving them a thorough grounding in their subject – to teach students how to work together in an interdisciplinary team with the other stakeholders involved. The projects, on which a group of both Architecture as well as Civil Engineering students work together, play a key role here. In this way, realistic planning tasks form the basis for later successful teamwork in practice. Apart from a general higher education entrance qualification and a good general education, future architects should enjoy and be interested in design and architectural representation and especially bring with them a creative and holistic way of thinking. Creativity, imagination, good observation skills, spatial perception, technical and constructional understanding, the ability to work in a team and to interlink different and complex elements are essential, as well as a strong sense of responsibility and resilience. Prerequisite for the Bachelor’s degree program in Architecture and Urban Design is the completion of a motivation and aptitude test. The task to be treated can be downloaded at the beginning of June each year and must be submitted by email by 15 July.
