Architects plan and design houses,
public buildings and industrial buildings
– they also deal with complex urban
facilities and redevelopments. They must
take into consideration requirements of
technical construction, design, finances
and building laws, as well as the needs of
dwelling, learning, working and relaxing
human beings.
Architects unite artistic design with technical
implementation. They work freelance
in architectural firms or in construction
businesses. Urban designers determine
the structural and spatial development of
communities, which includes traffic planning,
provision and disposal, as well as real
estate regulations, and nature and landscape
conservation. As a result, areas of
professional activity include public administration,
planning offices or construction
companies. The Master of Arts in Architecture
and Urban Design also makes it possible
for you to enter the higher civil service
or a doctoral programme.
After completing the design-related
Architecture and Urban Design Masters
Degree Programme, two years of practical
experience are required before you
are permitted to use the title “Architect”.
A special characteristic of this degree
programme at the FH Aachen is its
orientation within the Euregio. During
the course of your studies you will focus
on the architecture and urban design of
the neighbouring regions (East Belgium,
Belgian Limburg, Dutch Limburg, the
mASterS deGree ProGrAmmeS
Province of Liège, Regio Aachen). Accordingly,
joint design topics and lectures
are developed and offered in the other
universities of the Euregio (Liège, Diepenbeek,
Maastricht, Heerlen). This creates a
unique opportunity for you to begin experiencing
international exchange already
during your studies.
The degree programme has a professionally
oriented, as well as scientific,
character. All course units (general scientific,
engineering science and design-related
units) are interdependant and dovetail
with each other. The knowledge gained
in your bachelors degree programme is
consolidated in a scientific and methodical
manner. Within the context of the
architecture and urban design content of
the programme, you will learn to forge
connections with society through exemplary
but nevertheless specific projects,
so that you can order, interpret and value
influences and conditions, take decisions,
and make conceptual recommendations
tangible. In the course of your studies you
will focus on Design-Construction or Urban
and Regional Planning.
