Master of Arts (M.A.)

Master’s program in Interior Architecture – Spatial Arts

The consecutive, two-semester Master’s program in Interior Architecture – Spatial Arts offers students the opportunity to deepen their artistic, design, planning, organizational, and academic methodology expertise.

All graduates with a Bachelor's degree in Interior Architecture may apply. If students have completed a six or seven semester Bachelor’s degree program, then they will take an additional one to two semesters of supplementary courses to prepare them for the Master’s program.

Students formulate an “initial question” based on their expertise from their Bachelor’s degree in Interior Architecture, alongside their personal interests and career plans. This self-selected topic will then form the thematic foundation for their Master’s program. Master's students will gain an individualized profile of expertise which qualifies them to apply for positions in a wide range of professional fields. They will deal with topics like innovation development, digital media design and new technical possibilities in materials, product and furniture development.
