Profile \ A full-time master’s degree with two possible specializations

The Master of Engineering in Integrated Design (MID) is offered as a full time course in the specialisations Computational Design and Facade Design. You will apply only for one of these.

Globalization in general and the construction industry in particular have brought about new demands on buildings and construction projects, new demands that also take into account local conditions. Planning, too, is changing in line with the new requirements. Moreover, digital technology has also effected lasting changes to the building industry, from the planning and production stage right through to execution, and job profiles are getting more sophisticated accordingly. The Master programme therefore teaches in particular theoretical and practice-oriented skills of digital analysis-, design-, planning- and production methods, in addition to the traditional design and planning methods, and gives a detailed overview of the latest technological developments. The programme also includes operative aspects of information technology, new developments in building materials and scientific work.

Interaction / Cooperation with external partners and networks: The programme focuses on qualifying engineers for interdisciplinary, international and to a growing extent digitally supported jobs. Special emphasis is laid on the cooperation between university and external partners, to links to other universities, planning offices, the construction industry and to software manufacturers. The standard study period is four semesters. The specializations Facade Design and Computational Design are taught in English.

Master’s degree \ Internationally recognized

Students graduating from this master’s degree will earn the “Master of Engineering (M.Eng.)” Degree, which is internationally recognized. The degree qualifies for a position in the senior public service.

Job prospects \ From planning offices to research institutes

The MID qualifies graduates for positions in the private commercial sector as well as for the public sector.
Job sectors include in particular architectural offices, engineering and planning offices as well as the construction industry, research institutes and universities. Other possibilities are also in specific technological fields, such as studies in software application and simulation technology, the research in new manufacturing methods, of construction or material innovation; these areas are covered in particular in the specialised modules with changing themes and best-practice examples.
