The training in the master’s programme Integrated Design and Construction follows the occupational profile of a project developer; as a project executor and manager a project developer initiates, designs and takes responsibility for the entire value chain, i.e. from the stage of development and financing to the construction design and implementation until the operation of sites. The training focuses on the interdisciplinary work of project developments during the entire life cycle of buildings - from development and financing to designing and implementing constructions until the operation and usage of sites. By an analytical understanding of society, the programme qualifies students to design and develop infrastructure projects, urban areas and buildings in a sustainable way and to integrally plan, manage and control development and implementation processes.
Programme Structure
The knowledge about design and construction acquired during the bachelor's programme is complemented by the fields of project development and site operation. A deeper theoretical knowledge about the design of integrated processes in project development is taught at the beginning of the master’s programme. Later the focus is on deeper theoretical knowledge about property management and property law. Competences in the field of project development are deepened even further by exemplary practice-oriented applications.
Career Perspectives
Graduates of the master’s programme Integrated Design and Construction are prepared for various job profiles in the construction and property industry. Due to their interdisciplinary competences, graduates can start a career in the following areas:
- Property industry (project developer, building contractors, property management companies, etc.)
- Construction industry (classic construction companies in building and civil engineering, prime contractors, PPP and construction service provider)
- Architecture and design
