at the Department of Architecture at TU Darmstadt mainly focuses on building construction and urban design. A comprehensive range of elective subjects and design courses enable students to individually explore other themes in more depth.
The Master of Science Architecture degree builds on the Bachelor of Science Architecture degree at the Department of Architecture. It provides students with significantly more knowledge and capabilities in the areas of scientific approaches, theoretical-analytical skills and intellectual and social competence.

The Master’s degree thus reflects the breadth of the subject matter, while also allowing students to individually specialise on either building construction or urban planning within the same course. Optionally, it is possible to replace one of three design courses with a free thesis and to develop an individual thesis topic in consultation with a design subject. At the same time, the research module prepares students for further scientific qualification.

Graduates are qualified (after completing the prescribed work experience placement following their graduation) to register with the Chamber of Architects but not with the Chamber of Urban Planners, even if the main focus of their degree was urban planning design.
