In Germany nearly all Universities (as ours) award the academic title Master of Arts (M.A.) for master-courses in Architecture. The conferral of the Master's degree (M.A.) signifies successful completion of an architect's training. The qualification fulfils the requirements on academic studies for the registrability in a German Chamber of Architects and, in conjunction with the additional requirements of the chambers for the registration, to hold the title of architect. These additional requirements are (like in a number of other countries) the successful completion of two years of professional practice to get licensed. Our master degree also meets the requirements of the Professional Qualifications Directive 2005/36/EU of the European Union (amended by Directive 2013/55/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 November 2013) and is listed in Annex V.7. of the Directive. That means it is fully recognized within the EU. Furthermore the Master´s degree fulfils the requirements of the UNESCO/UIA Charter for Architectural Education. That means, it is an approved degree in Architecture for recognition and licensing as an architect worldwide. Of course additional requirements of chambers or registration boards differ from country to country.
