About the Program

As the only study program of its kind in Germany, the Architecture and Art History program offers a comprehensive practice-oriented introduction to the history and theory of architecture, building, and the built environment. In an open, interdisciplinary atmosphere with intensive personal supervision, you will explore the historical development of architecture, art, and urban planning from the beginnings to the present. You will learn to interpret buildings and works of art in their complex cultural, social, and technical contexts and to combine this theoretical knowledge with the practical requirements of monument preservation, architectural communication, and cultural work. Concrete insights into the challenges of planning and building complement the cultural studies focus. The six-semester Bachelor's degree in Architecture and Art History qualifies students for a Master's degree in Architecture and Art History, World Heritage Studies, and related disciplines, and provides basic skills for work in monument preservation, museum, exhibition and publishing, as well as general cultural, media and public relations work.
