Master Integrated Building Systems

Teaching in the programme focuses on the integration of sustainable energy technologies at building and urban levels, the methodology and tools to master the complex design of integrated building systems, as well as the operation and management of buildings.

Interdisciplinary by design and grounded in real-world problem contexts, the programme combines methods and insights from the disciplines of architecture, civil, mechanical, socio-economics, environmental and electrical engineering.

The study degree programme is structured into - Fundamental, Core, Specialised, and Science in Perspective (SiP) - courses that link different disciplines and provide a broad spectrum of expertise. Additionally, students participate in interdisciplinary design and research projects. The 4 semester programme concludes with a master thesis in a current research topic.

• Fundamental courses (minimum of 4 ECTS credits)
• Core courses (minimum of 31 ECTS credits)
• Specialised courses (minimum of 13 ECTS credits)
• Science in Perspective (minimum of 2 ECTS credits)
