About the Program

In the Architecture Bachelor's program in Heidelberg, we offer you the opportunity to design the living spaces of tomorrow. Gain comprehensive architectural competencies at the intersection of art and craft, aesthetics and functionality.

Our Architecture Bachelor's program at the Heidelberg campus follows a path of continuously increasing complexity, which can be visualized as a staircase metaphor. Step by step — module by module — you progress toward success! The program can be divided into four major phases:

1. Foundational knowledge transfer: through project work, excursions, and case studies. 2. Supervised internship: in an architecture office during the fourth semester. 3. Deepening: through larger and more complex projects. 4. Final thesis: the concluding Bachelor's thesis.

Teaching takes place at the university, in our workshop, and on field trips, as well as through online formats. Experience the interplay between art, craft, aesthetics, and functionality — and become the architect of tomorrow.
