Project results, events, excursions
The aim of the interdisciplinary approach in the study programme is to provide students with a holistic view of integrated approaches to urban development and to apply appropriate methods. This is implemented in a "Study Project" in the second semester, which is interdisciplinary in nature and where students practice their acquired skills on current topics with the guidance of professors. The study project focuses on a specific problem solution and combines scientific analysis methods with design and creative skills. The students' teamwork skills are promoted through collaboration in international teams. This page shows projects results, as well as excursions and events that took place within the scope of the Study Project. Furthermore, other events and smaller workshops are listed here.
