2009 curriculum

In the Master's degree programme in Spatial Development and Infrastructure Systems, the number of compulsory subjects is kept low.

In addition to mandatory subjects and areas of specialisation, electives, interdisciplinary project work and the Master's thesis complete the curriculum.
