Application hints and tips
This degree program participates in the Dialogorientiertes Serviceverfahren (DoSV) – an initiative organized to aid communication between universities and applicants in cases where prospective students apply for multiple degree programs at multiple universities. This means that applicants from Germany and the rest of the EU must have an applicant ID (BID) and an authentication number (BAN) issued to them from Hochschulstart prior to submitting their application to TU Dresden.
General information for the degree programme
The degree program in architecture conveys knowledge, skills and abilities for the design and project planning of buildings and structural facilities as well as for urban planning. Optionally, you can study special building planning (residential buildings, public buildings, commercial buildings, social and health buildings and interior design) or urban and spatial planning, special principles and methods of monument preservation as well as other specialist areas. Especially noteworthy is the close interconnection with the Landscape Architecture degree program. The complexity and balance of theoretical, artistic, technical and ecological components within the educational process is a typical feature of the Dresden diplom program.
Applicants are expected to have a good general education, an interest in artistic design, powers of observation, spatial imagination, creativity and technical skills.
