In the bachelor's degree program in architecture at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, students work in a thematically defined design studio each semester. One professor personally supervises each studio. The design work is accompanied by a coordinated basic course. The Bachelor's program thus teaches both the scientific fundamentals and the associated methodological skills.

The goal of the program is the ability to successfully complete a consecutive master's degree program and to apply the acquired knowledge in a professional field

The history of the department dates back to the foundation of the University of Karlsruhe in 1825. The tradition of the Karlsruhe Faculty of Architecture can be traced back to many well-known names: from Friedrich Weinbrenner and Johann Gottfried Tulla to Heinrich Hübsch and personalities such as Egon Eiermann, Fritz Haller and Dieter Kienast. Today, our professors and our broad-based teaching staff guarantee practice-oriented and contemporary teaching for around 1,000 students.

Our society is currently facing major challenges: Climate change, resource depletion and increasing digitalization are raising questions about the future design of our environment. The KIT Department of Architecture aims to make a relevant and responsible contribution to solving these questions through teaching, research and innovation.
