Urban and Regional Planning (B.Sc.)

Developments in society, the economy, and the environment have resulted in a continual change in structures and forms of urbanization. Urban and regional planners must understand and analyze this process so that they can sustainably steer it with targeted interventions. The bachelors program in Urban and Regional Planning prepares you for this task by combining content from various disciplines. You benefit from a combination of design, engineering, sociological, economic, ecological, legal, cultural, and historical aspects that are taught in close cooperation with other TU institutes.

The bachelors program aims to provide an integrated perspective of urban and regional planning as planning practice is often both interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary. After completing the program, you are able to understand and analyze current situations and problems at different skill levels. You can prepare concepts focused on solutions that take into consideration scientific, political, cultural, and ethical aspects as well as structure and moderate these concepts using relevant planning and legal standards either on your own or in a team.

As for every other bachelors degree program at TU Berlin, applicants must possess a university entrance qualification certificate to apply to the Urban and Regional Planning program. If you do not have a formal university entrance qualification, you may still be able to study at TU Berlin if you can provide proof of certain professional qualifications.

The Urban and Regional Planning masters program is taught in German. If you are applying with a foreign school-leaving certificate, you must provide proof of German skills at a specific level. This is a prerequisite for admission.
