Study year 1

The first term starts with a common introduction for all tracks in Sustainable Planning and Design. In the second period a number of primary courses are offered which provide core knowledge for the tracks. The second and third term comprise courses that provide students with deeper know­ledge and skills in the tracks. The Urban Planning and Design (UPD) track consists of a series of studios in which students practice their design skills. The Urban and Regional Planning (URP) track offers courses with a focus on analysis, conceptualisation and implementation of development potentials for cities and regions. The Environment and Planning track (EP) also offers courses with a focus on analysis, conceptualisation and implementation, but in the field of environmental policy making, planning, scenario building or sustainability assessments. Each of the tracks includes a project in the third term. The third term includes an interdisciplinary project in which students apply the skills and knowledge that are gained in the programme. The programme concludes with a Master’s Degree project in which students address selected problems within the scope of the programme.
