Programme content
This intensive programme of advanced education is a two-semester degree, starting in September. It leads to the degree of Master of Human Settlements.
This intensive programme focuses on issues of housing, building and spatial planning in a context of development under scarce resources and pressing social and environmental constraints. The programme has the following main components:
• a core package of compulsory courses dealing with human settlements in development, developmental and managerial aspects of sustainable development, design projects, study tours and thesis;
• a pool of courses out of which to choose minimum 10 credits, focusing on subjects as Architecture and Urban Studies, Rational Design and Construction or Urbanism and Strategic Planning
• further optional courses to select from a wide offer. In addition to the regular faculty, an international visiting staff supports the programme.
A specific research-oriented trajectory can serve as a pre-doctoral track for the Ph.D. A trajectory that focuses on urban design, landscape and spatial planning, on the other hand, may lead to admission to the third semester of the Master of Urbanism and Strategic Planning degree, which is a four-semester degree. Please note that VLIR scholarships are only available for the Master of Human Settlements, not for the possible continuation in the Master of Urbanism and Strategic Planning.
Admission requirements
Master programme: applicants must hold a degree of Bachelor or Master of Architecture or Architectural Engineering (with a minimum of five years academic study). Other applicants must have a proven interest and experience in the field of Human Settlements. Job experience is preferred. Among other selection criteria, an excellent academic record is essential, as well as fluent English and a letter of motivation.
