YOUR DUAL STUDY ARCHITECTURE (B.A.)
The dual study program in architecture at the IU International University (IU) is not yet chamber-eligible and therefore qualifies you for a profession, but not for a profession. This means that the degree does not currently qualify you to carry the protected professional title of architect. However, discussions are underway between the IU, the Federal Chamber of Architects and the state chambers in order to examine the possibility of chamber eligibility. More information on this can be found below in the section frequent questions. The course of study provides you with the following knowledge:
- Particularly practice-oriented basic training
- Promotion of spatial thinking skills and a sense of aesthetics
- Skills to coordinate and supervise construction projects
- Overview of the professional challenges in architecture
What else awaits you:
- You'll learn in small groups - so you can actively participate and ask questions at any time.
