Interior designers design building interiors. They design and plan the interior design and oversee the execution of the construction. In their work, they take creative, technical, economic, ecological, cultural and social aspects into account.

Landscape architects plan and design public or private open spaces and green spaces. In their work, they take into account artistic-aesthetic, architectural, economic, ecological and social aspects.

Urban planners draw up designs for environmentally friendly, social and economic local, urban and spatial development. They also draw up construction and financing plans and support the implementation of urban development projects

Prerequisites

If the above-mentioned profession is regulated as the country of origin in an EU member state, an equivalent degree must always be proven.
An equivalent degree is given if there are no significant differences between the foreign degree and the corresponding German degree. It is necessary that the right to practice the profession is given in the country of origin.

If the profession is not regulated in the country of origin, proof must be provided that the profession was practiced full-time for two years (one year from 2016) in the previous ten years and that one or more certificates of qualification or training exist.
The same applies to third-country nationals insofar as there is equality with regard to the recognition of training certificates under European Community law.

  • Proof of completion of training
  • If necessary, evidence of two years of professional experience
  • Other qualifications (e.g. for professional training)
