Internationaler Wettbewerb zum Nachverdichten und Weiterbauen von Städten mit Holz. FH Studierende erhalten den Anerkennungspreis.
Architecture offers an extensive field of activity: on a small and large scale, architects have an almost infinite number of design options open to them. The demands they have to meet have become more diverse over the years. They range from resource-conserving design to technical and legal aspects of planning to the involvement of all parties involved. As the only architectural education in Austria in rural areas, the degree program "Architecture" is a contact point especially for those interested in rural (regional) building.
The bachelor's program focuses on design and construction planning skills, which students learn in workshops and project work with a high degree of practical relevance. Design theory, building theory, history of building culture, structural engineering, materials science and structural design are important basics which are at the beginning of an architectural education. Students enjoy working in small groups and also come into contact with civil engineers as part of their interdisciplinary studies. The combination of architectural theory and engineering competence thus favours a comprehensively oriented teaching, which at this place of study is particularly dedicated to building with resources that have always been growing and dedicated right on the doorstep.
A particular focus of the course is social building. Creating living space is the most original task of architecture, the right to housing a human right. It is about shaping our living environment, social responsibility and holistic thinking. Projects with real tasks on socially relevant topics teach students responsibility and attitude towards society.
A society, by the way, which is increasingly moving to cities and leaving rural areas behind. This migration brings with it problems that architecture can counter with regional development strategies, the building culture of rural areas, knowledge of materials and craftsmanship, and regional value creation. Which possibilities and strategies can be considered is also part of the course. The motto is: "We design living space".

With over 100 Study & Work partner companies and organizations, CUAS offers students the opportunity to combine studying and working!
For first-year students of the bachelor's program in "Architecture" without any subject-specific previous knowledge, voluntary preparatory courses (so-called bridge courses) in mathematics, natural sciences and civil engineering are offered before the start of studies (in August/September).
The curriculum has a modular structure. Each module extends over one or two semesters and contains networked courses that are characterized by the joint acquisition of competencies. Practical relevance and project-oriented work promote initiative, independence and networked and result-oriented thinking.
In the 5th semester a professional internship of 20 weeks is to be completed. The internship serves to gain personal experience in the professional world and to learn about technical and economic decision-making processes as well as to develop social competence. At the same time, the internship enables students to make first contacts for their later professional career. The professional internship can also be completed abroad.
After passing the final examination of the bachelor's degree program in "Architecture", graduates are awarded the academic degree "Bachelor of Science in Engineering" or "BSc" for short. Building on the bachelor's degree, students in the master's program have the opportunity to delve into freely selectable specialist areas (e.g. social building). After passing the final examination of the master's degree program "Architecture", the graduates are awarded the academic degree "DiplomingenieurIn für technisch/wissenschaftliche Berufe".

The bachelor's program "Architecture" is a training centre for building culture in rural areas and focuses specifically on teaching design and construction planning skills. Through the interaction of architecture and engineering competence, graduates are well prepared for the challenges of the architectural profession on both the design and technical levels. Solution-oriented learning, workshops and complex project work promote initiative and independent work. Students acquire skills in the areas of presentation and design, drafting, structural engineering planning and construction management.
In addition to the sustainable planning and implementation of new buildings, students also deal with the sustainable renovation of old buildings. In addition, special attention is given to the topics of regionality and social building. Excursions on architectural topics and cooperation with universities are fixed points of the course. A special feature is the place of study: The "Spittl" in Spittal an der Drau impresses with an extraordinary and inspiring atmosphere.
What students should bring to their studies:
After successful completion of their studies, graduates have the following skills and knowledge:
Architects work in a challenging and creative professional field and play a decisive role in shaping it. The range of their tasks is fascinating, specialisation possibilities offer a wide range of opportunities. In this profession, it is important to assume responsibility for the building culture in a balance between the common good and individual, free interest.
The bachelor's degree program in architecture and the advanced master's degree program in "Architecture" ideally combine technical and creative processes and form the basis for the responsible design of our living space. Well-trained architects with additional social and technical competence will be indispensable in future teams. From architecturally sophisticated buildings to eco-social urban and open space development, graduates of the bachelor's program in architecture can realize their goals.
Field of activity for graduates
Graduates of the bachelor's program in architecture are qualified for design and construction planning activities in architecture and planning offices on the client and contractor side. Of course, they can also take on management tasks in master builder companies up to medium-sized construction companies.
EU-wide recognized architectural studies
The study of architecture (master's degree) at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences is recognized throughout Europe according to the EU professional qualification guidelines (2005/36/EC). The same admission regulations for taking the civil engineering examination apply to graduates as to university graduates.
Possible professional fields for architects can be
The successful completion of the bachelor's degree in architecture entitles the holder to a master's degree in civil engineering & architecture at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences in the scope of 4 semesters as well as to a master's degree in architecture at another FH or university according to § 6 FHStG (4).

Richard WoditschArchitektur studieren in einem inspirierenden Umgebung: Dein Campus befindet sich in einem historischen Gebäude. Das „Spittl“ wurde in der ersten Häufte des 16. Jahrhunderts errichtet und immer wieder adaptiert: ein Renaissance-Bau mit einem zweigeschossigen Arkadenhof und einer klassizistischen Fassade. Das vermittelt kreative Studien-Atmosphäre.
Deine Architektur-Stadt, dein Bau-Land
Spittal an der Drau ist ein idealer Ort für dein Masterstudium Architektur. Warum? Dein Anschauungsmaterial und Experimentierfeld befinden sich unmittelbar vor der Haustür – im Alpe-Adria-Raum. Verkehrsgünstig liegt Spittal zwischen städtischen und ländlichen Sphären. Zwischen den Tiefschneehängen der Nockberge und dem Badewasser des Millstätter Sees. Zwischen Arbeitsimpulsen und Freizeitwert. Heißt: Du studierst dort, wo andere auch gerne Urlaub machen.
