Master of Arts in Architecture

This Master of Arts programme in Architecture at Hochschule Wismar University of Applied Sciences offers a hands-on, project-based curriculum designed to equip students with decision-making skills and a deep understanding of contemporary architectural challenges. The programme integrates innovative research in green building, ecology, socio-cultural developments, and digital technologies into design processes. Students engage in interdisciplinary teaching, with design projects forming the core of the curriculum across four semesters.

Small group work, individual mentorship, and access to advanced technical resources further enhance the learning experience.
