American student trying to attend German Architecture program

ameliaray

Hi, 

I am going to graduate  this December with a with a B.A. in Art History from the University of North Texas.  I am considering Grad School in  Germany for architecture. I understand that the certification is different, but I am disillusioned with the lifestyle in the United States, and I am drawn to the idea of practicing architecture in Europe.  I am positive that I want to study architecture but I have a few concerns.  I also have dedicated a year to making these choices, so this is just the beginning of my research.   Finances  is of course a driving factor in my choices. 

1. Are German  schools really cheaper? I heard that Grad school is free for international students in Germany, is that true for Architecture programs in Germany? 

2. Can an American student with a B.A. get into a German architecture school, or any school in Europe or do I need a pre-professional degree in Architecture?

3. How hard is it for an International student to get into a  German architecture program?

4. I am trying to narrow down the list of schools. Any Suggestions?
