In the Master's degree programme in Spatial Development and Infrastructure Systems, the number of compulsory subjects is kept low. This allows extensive customisation of the programme according to students’ inclinations and career objectives. In addition to mandatory subjects and areas of specialisation, electives, interdisciplinary project work and the Master's thesis complete the curriculum.

Tutor system

To ensure well-focused training, a tutor is assigned to each student at the beginning of their studies. The tutor supports the student throughout the Master's degree studies, is available for discussions and consultations, and is also responsible for the individual curriculum stipulated on commencement of studies.

Framework conditions
