Eligibility
To qualify for studying at SAC, you should have studied architecture for at least 4 years with a bachelor degree and have, in total, a minimum of 2 years work experience (including summer jobs, internships and part-time work). Applications received from prospective students with degrees in interior design, engineering or other related fields and/or with different kinds of related work experience will be considered at the discretion of the admissions committee.
It is to the advantage of prospective students to know digital modelling (Rhino, 3D Studio Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, FormZ… etc.). Candidates are expected to master a software program for standard architectural drafting and technical drawing.
Entry requirements
The candidacy of an applicant is evaluated on the basis of their portfolio submitted as a hard copy: no larger than A3 and maximum of 20 pages. If the nature of the work submitted so requires, additional information can be provided on a CD/DVD. The portfolio should document all relevant work. It should present your design skills and/or theoretical approach to architecture as well your ideology behind the designs that are developed.

Previous students have applied to the German Scholarship institution DAAD (http://www.daad.de/) for funding. On a separate note, there are two positions per year for student assistants at SAC which come to about 4 hours a week.
