Training internationally active experts for the urban realm, the course examines a diverse range of contemporary issues in urban development through an interdisciplinary programme of coursework. Within the scope of the course students spend one year in China. All courses offered in Weimar and Shanghai will be conducted in English.
The first three semesters focus on investigating in detail a range of fundamental theoretical and practical aspects of urbanism. The first semester takes place in Weimar, the second and third in Shanghai. Each university adapts the curriculum to reflect topics specific to their country. The study projects in the second and third semesters focus on a practical urban or spatial problem that can be approached by applying scientific and/or design-oriented methods. An interdisciplinary approach is sought to study real world issues and solutions.
The fourth semester is for writing and defending the Master Thesis. This phase is accompanied by a colloquium. The Master Thesis can be an academic or design oriented project. After successfully completing the course, graduates are awarded a dual qualification: the Faculty of Architecture at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar awards the degree of »Master of Science« (M. Sc.), the Tongji University in Shanghai, China, awards the title »Master of Engineering«.
