We are currently working on a newly designed Master's Programme developed further from these two programmes. The complexity of urban systems touches on spatial, geographical, artistic, functional, infrastructural, cultural and social dimensions and can only be grasped adequately by means of interdisciplinary approaches.
Solutions to key urban problems can no longer be developed sectorally, i. Thus, it is necessary that social studies and cultural studies as well as natural and engineering sciences join urban research and practice for the purpose of interdisciplinary cooperation.
Such programs would allow students to combine, within a single curriculum, courses from planning-technical areas and natural sciences with courses in cultural studies and social sciences. Furthermore, there has been little opportunity for students to practically apply aspects of arts and design in advanced scientific contexts. These programs mediate and combine in their curricula competences from diverse academic disciplines central to the comprehension and sustainable design of urban systems.
Such curricula require, above all, that students gain knowledge of specific disciplinary codes, which are of utmost important for effective interdisciplinary collaborations in urban research and practice. Every disciplinary approach on the subject of urban affairs is wrapped up in inherent urban complexity and thus in an interdisciplinary context. On this basis, integrative and complementary modules provide project-related, integrative orientation and interconnection of both Master's Programmes in order to expand the interdisciplinary field:.
From a total of 9 modules including the Master's thesis 4 are chosen from the other Master's Degree Programme. Admission requirements. For any questions you may have regarding the programmes offered, please do not hesitate to contact us:.
