Other special features
This eight-semester long Bachelor's degree course entitles graduates to be registered with the Chamber of Architects after acquiring two years of professional experience. This differentiates the course from six-semester Bachelor's degrees which do not fulfil the requirements for registration with the chamber. The university offers two consecutively structured Master's degree courses: "Architecture and Media Management" and "Architecture Project Development". The Master's degree course in "Urban Planning in NRW" is offered in cooperation with the universities of Dortmund, Cologne and Siegen. The degree courses are accredited and qualify for a doctorate.
