BA Architecture
Berlin International University of Applied Sciences
Program Overview
The BA Architecture programme provides students with the skills and specialised knowledge to develop and apply creative and responsible solutions in the field of architecture. The programme is firmly grounded in the vibrant city of Berlin but taught exclusively in English. It is designed to help students understand their role and responsibility as architects in any given physical and cultural context – on either a local or a global level. Upon completing the programme, graduates will be able to apply their understanding of spaces as a whole and use their design skills and their knowledge of the relationships between the built environment, technology, art, and geographical, social, sociocultural, and political contexts to solve complex architectural challenges. Architecture is a protected profession in Germany. In order to be entitled to use the title “Architect”, professional practice and registration with the Chamber of Architects is obligatory. In a practice-driven and supportive learning atmosphere, an internationally experienced team of lecturers and professors encourage students to explore their individual talents and forge their own professional paths.
