Education within the Master's program of architecture is largely based on the regulations adopted by the German Federal Chamber of Architects and international associations, such as UIA and AESOP. Moreover, the Bundesstiftung Baukultur (Federal Building Culture Foundation) has clearly defined the society’s requirements to be met by architects and updated them in broad discourse.

Graduates of the Master's program of architecture have passed a high-quality education program of five years’ duration for highly responsible, complex, and innovative activities in the areas of planning and building, research, and development in architecture.

In this way, they have obtained the qualification to enter a profession. Together with a practical working phase of two or three years, the Master's degree is needed to obtain the authorization to present building documents (Bauvorlageberechtigung) and to become member of the respective Chamber of Architects. As the consecutive Master's program fully meets international standards (EU, UTA, UNESCO), unrestricted, also international, career perspectives are opened up.

Having specialized in the area of urban planning, graduates meet the specific requirements to apply for inclusion in the list of urban planners in the respective federal state.

Hence, they are prepared for practical and scientific work in the areas of architecture and urban and landscape planning.

Upon completion of the Master's program of four semesters’ duration, graduates have the specific and scientific qualification for a subsequent doctorate in the area of architecture or related programs.

Studies within the Master's program are based on the fundamentals imparted by the Bachelor's program. The Master's program extends the networked thinking conveyed by the Bachelor's program by interdisciplinary elements.

All phases of the Master's program are characterized by a high degree of scientific quality and independence in an international environment as well as by the understanding of complex, also ecological, relationships. Hence, graduates are able to assume executive positions in an architectural office and to act responsibly, sustainably, and in an integrating manner.

Graduates have in-depth knowledge of the different system and complexity levels of this profession and are able to understand the interconnections between the partial areas of architecture.

Graduates have an in-depth awareness of and high sensitivity for the sustainable use of nature and the environment and know the associated architectural challenges.

They are able to critically assess scientific and specific knowledge of how modern architecture and urban planning can be formulated and can relate this knowledge to the social context. In this respect, graduates are capable of developing an own personal attitude.

They apply central terms of the terminology in German and English and possess profound knowledge of the current problems faced by architects and the corresponding research community.

They have a wide and profound fundamental knowledge in the different areas of architecture. This includes a theoretical artistic understanding, technical construction knowledge, and sensitivity for the context as well as knowledge of building history and the history of art.

Graduates have learned to think and act independently and to develop own positions. They are familiar with the different forms of scientific work and can participate in research teams. They are capable of analyzing complex problems and critically discussing facts. On this basis, they can develop strategies for problem solution with high degrees of abstraction. They are able to understand complex spatial situations and model them clearly with different tools.

After five years of work in six Bachelor's design studios and three Master's projects, they have learned to work in teams and have gained vast experience in various interdisciplinary groups. They can coordinate and manage projects as well as assume executive tasks.

Graduates have a detailed knowledge of how to exploit sources of information and can use the findings specifically and in a structured way. They can present the work results derived to an audience and document them in an understandable way.
