A popular university in Germany that studies architecture
1, Brunswick University of Technology
Brunswick University of Technology, located in Brunswick, Lower Saxony, Germany, is the first industrial university in Germany. It belongs to CESAER, one of the top ten universities in Germany, and TU9, the alliance of nine excellent universities of science and technology in Germany. There are 765,438+0 professional directions, 65,438+056 research institutes and six departments-School of Economic Mathematics, School of Architecture, School of Mechanical Engineering and Electronics.
Its dominant majors are machinery, automobile and rail transit. Architecture majors focus on design. The study focuses on the history of architecture and urban design, industrial architecture and structural design, architectural design, urban design and landscape.
2. Berlin Technical University
Technical University of Berlin has many departments and a wide range of specialties. If science and engineering are separated, Berlin University of Technology is not its engineering, but science, that is, natural science. Natural disciplines, including physics, chemistry and mathematics, rank extremely high in Germany, and the latest ranking is among the top three.
The Technical University of Berlin is located in the German capital. There are many scenic spots and museums in Berlin, which is a rare resource for people who like culture, art and history. There are also many foreigners and different cultures exchange here. Economically, Berlin's economic level is in the middle and lower level in Germany, but it has the largest number of construction firms in Germany, reaching 778. Many top firms have settled here, which is a great advantage, so there are a lot of internships and job opportunities in Berlin.
3. darmstadt University of Technology
Darmstadt University of Technology is located in darmstadt, southern Hesse. This city is famous for its science, and it is called Science City. It has a large number of research institutes and R&D centers, a developed information and communication pharmaceutical industry, as well as the control center of the European Space Agency, the Hessian Museum and some government agencies in Hesse. At present, Darmstadt University of Technology has about 27,000 students, 65,438+03 departments and five other research fields. 50% major is engineering, 35% is natural science, and only 15% is humanities, with emphasis on science and engineering, especially engineering.
In teaching, Damm's architecture major has created a unique darmstadt model, which is divided into six discipline groups, with 19 professional fields under its jurisdiction, with emphasis on Hochbau and Stdtebau. In addition, the college not only attaches importance to the cultivation of artistic modeling and other humanities, such as sculpture, pottery, watercolor, etc., but also cooperates with other science and engineering majors to build a green building with strong science and technology. Damme's solar architecture enjoys a high reputation in the world.
4. Hanover University
Hanover University has a long history. As early as 183 1, kamate Carr, a famous European scholar, chose Hanover, an important city connecting the German domestic trade and transportation hub, and founded the "Hanover Advanced Trade and Technology School".
It is the earliest prototype of Hanover University and can accommodate about 265,438+0,000 students. It is hard to imagine that there were less than 70 students in the prototype period.
The teaching setup of Hanover University can cover almost all the necessary knowledge needed by the whole interpersonal network in modern society, that is, natural science, humanities, social science, law and economics.
Facing the test of the information age, Hanover University is ready to meet the challenge. It faces all kinds of people in the world who need to improve and realize their self-worth. There are advanced scientific research institutions and educational methods, a good learning atmosphere and convenient learning conditions.
This reflects the goal of Hanover University: to strive to achieve high-quality and high-quality talent education as a permanent pursuit.
5. Dresden University of Technology
The School of Architecture of Dresden University of Technology has 122 1 students and 18 professors, with a very large professional scale. However, Dresden's architecture seems to have a low reputation in various architectural rankings. At present, its architecture major is still a diploma, and there is no master's degree. Therefore, after applying for a diploma, domestic undergraduates must go to a professor to avoid classes. As for how much can be exempted, it depends on luck.
However, in terms of architectural style, Dresden's unique Central European style is still very distinctive, and there are many optional directions in Dresden.
6. Aachen University of Technology
At present, there are 1387 students in the School of Architecture of Aachen University of Technology, which is the largest in Germany. At present, there are 1.7 research directions. The number of professors is only 18 (statistics give 19, and my statistics in official website are only 18 now). Due to the enrollment expansion in each session, the teacher-student ratio is not ideal. However, Aachen's reputation and ranking in architecture are still very good.
By investigating the opinions of German professors, a German institution ranked it as the third major in architecture in Germany. Aachen's architectural research includes design and technology research, especially architectural technology and structure research. The credit of undergraduate course is much higher than that of design module.
So Aachen is the school recommended by students who want to focus on architectural technology and structure in the future. However, I believe that controlling the number of students should be Aachen's next step, and we should pay close attention to the application situation.
Requirements of studying architecture in Germany
1, entrance examination
At present, there are many applications for master of architecture, and German schools will invite the finalists to take the next proposition test after receiving the portfolio prepared by the application car. Some schools will publish the title of the application portfolio on the website at a specific time, requiring each applicant to complete and submit it in the shortest time.
2. German level
At present, in some universities in Germany, some majors offer English teaching programs, and most of all architectural design and urban planning majors are taught in German. At this time, the ability of each candidate in this field is particularly demanding. At this time, if the applicant does not have qualified German grades, it is difficult to apply for architecture major. Therefore, I suggest that you must improve your German ability when you are in China and complete the German exam in China.
3. Portfolio
Some German universities do not require the applicant's portfolio, but many art colleges and industrial universities, such as Stuttgart University and technical university of munich, require portfolio. Of course, students should pay attention to the specific requirements of their favorite schools in the process of applying for undergraduate courses in architecture, and then prepare corresponding professional training in advance.
4. University grades
The application of architecture major is the same as other majors, especially the application, and the scores of each applicant's professional courses are particularly important.
5. Internship experience
In Germany, it does not mean that every school will require to complete the internship in advance, but for design majors such as architectural design, each applicant must have relevant work experience, which will also have many advantages in the application process. I suggest that you can use your undergraduate vacation time to practice, which is also to lay the foundation for later application.
