"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." - Albert Einstein

Watch here: Sustainable Building Systems

Sustainability in buildings is not just a trend; it's the only way forward. The global commitment to offer sustainable and affordable built environments will include a transition towards CO2-neutral solutions for both new and existing buildings. This task is not only challenging but also requires lots of motivated people with expertise in the field of building energy efficiency.

With our Sustainable Building Systems advanced Master's course, you can not only be a part of this transition but also drive it with your expertise. Did you know that buildings today globally account for substantial primary energy usage and electricity consumption? In the backdrop of global warming and limited availability of energy resources, our Master's programme offers you an opportunity to apply your skills towards solving global problems with future technologies.

The degree programme offers international perspectives.

German language classes can be taken as an elective module.

The Sustainable Building Systems Master's degree comprises 90 ECTS, which is completed in three semesters. If you start with a degree that comprises less than 210 ECTS, you may have to plan additional time for catching up on modules/ECTS. After successful completion of the programme, you will be awarded the internationally recognised academic degree of Master of Engineering (MEng).
