Careers

Challenging and diverse professional roles await successful graduates of the Master's degree programme in Spatial Development and Infrastructure Systems. They have the fascinating and challenging task of developing integrated solutions for current spatial-planning issues.

They will be moving in the ever more significant sphere between spatial development and transport infrastructure development with its conflicting interests. Taking into account various demands on the use of land, they will develop concepts and strategies that will ensure the sustainable development of our residential and commercial space.

For this, they will use innovative tools, methods and processes adapted to the problem in question. They will be able to identify the specific characteristics of problems and issues at all levels of planning and to translate these into the different languages and methods of the experts involved.

In this way, graduates make an important contribution to the coordination and communication of spatial-planning projects to clients, policymakers and the general public.

They are aspiring professionals with scientific training enabling them to competently use modern instruments, as well as to undertake the innovative development of new procedures and processes – with the aim of resolving complex spatial-planning issues in the fields of spatial, urban and transport development.

Excellent prospects in Switzerland and abroad await them, for example in consultancy offices, with transport operators, infrastructure providers, construction and real estate companies, banking and insurance companies, as well as with municipal authorities, local, cantonal or federal government. Careers in research and development are equally attractive, either at a university or a research institution.
