Germany is a first choice for international students in Europe, with a world-class higher education system and diverse architecture programs on all study levels.

Germany has some of the most prestigious universities in Europe for architecture studies. These institutions are regularly in international rankings for their exceptional teaching and research.

Here are the top universities in Germany to study architecture:

 

Technical University of Berlin

The Institute of Architecture (IfA) at TUB is dedicated to creative designs of buildings, focusing on resource justice and the common good.

At the center of research is the concept of the “Bauwende” in the sense of an ecological transformation in architectural production. The faculty addresses issues to building in existing buildings, climate justice, global networking and the representation of social diversity. 

In the 2023 QS World University Ranking, the Institute of Architecture of TUB was ranked 18th in the “Architecture & Built Environment” category as the best German school of architecture.

The Technical University of Berlin has architecture programs in:

• Architecture B.Sc. (Bachelor of Science)
• Architecture M.Sc. (Master of Science)
• Architecture Typology M.Sc. (Master of Science)
• Master Urban Design M.Sc.
• Building Archeology and Heritage Conservation M.Sc.
