Human behavior is influenced by the built environment, and certainly in a small country like the Netherlands this environment is subject to long-term planning. This means that building engineers have a high degree of responsibility in finding the right balance between science, technology and design. However the conflicting interests also include economic, political and environmental aspects.
The Netherlands is changing in demographic terms and in its social structures. Society will have to provide constant stimulation for building with innovative and market-oriented concepts.
Interdisciplinarity is the key characteristic of the Master´s degree program in Architecture, Building and Planning. Based on your own discipline, you will learn to understand the problems of other disciplines. This is important in your future career, because the work of a small architects´ bureau cannot be compared to those of large project developers.
Through the project-driven teaching, you will develop a design-oriented approach that is based on independent analytical ability, synthetic skills and the many opportunities offered by information technology. Next to communication skills and presentation techniques, a scientific approach and a good measure of creativity are essentials in the design process.
The Master's degree program Industrial and Architecture, Building and Planning lasts two years. Each year consists of 60 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System). These credit points are subdivided as follows:
first year
- Project work (45%)
- Portfolio (5%)
- Lectures (50%)
second year
- Final project (65%)
- Project work (15%)
- Portfolio (15%)
- Lectures (5%)
This Master´s degree program does not include a compulsory internship. However you may opt to carry out one or more master projects in a company. These assignments must then be equivalent in terms of teaching aims, structure, final result and scope to the corresponding master project within the TU/e.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country. Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test. More information
