    Urban Design (M.Sc.)

    About

    Architects and urban, regional, and landscape planners can often not truly do justice to the complex tasks of urban development with their specific expertise and skills. Urban development requires a multidisciplinary, cooperative approach both because of the complexity of the tasks and the large number of affected and participating actors. The masters program in Urban Design brings together architecture, urban and regional planning, sociology, and landscape architecture.

    In cooperation with Tongji University in Shanghai, China, you have the opportunity to complete the degree program Urban Design as a double masters degree (dual degree program). Participants in the special program study together for one year in Berlin and for one year in Shanghai.

    As a graduate of the masters program in Urban Design, you are familiar with transdisciplinary working methods that not only transcend the boundaries of the individual disciplines but also offer specific solutions for socially relevant problems with the affected and participating actors. You have an extended understanding of design and can graphically convey and visualize information that shapes urban space. Your solutions include aspects such as knowledge generation and knowledge materialization as well as societal transformation. After completing the program, you possess architectural, urban planning, urban sociological, and landscape architectural knowledge augmented by ecological, economic, and gender-sensitive perspectives and are able to creatively bring all of these together.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    The formal admission requirement for the consecutive masters program in Urban Design is a first university degree in architecture, urban or regional planning, landscape architecture or a closely related subject qualifying the applicant for professional work.

    The Urban Design masters program is taught in English. Applicants are therefore required to provide proof of English skills at CEFR level B2 or equivalent. This is a prerequisite for admission. Knowledge of German is useful as some courses/modules are offered in German. However, this is not a condition for admission to studies. 

    You can find more information about the application, admission, and selection procedures in the application and admission regulations of the degree program (see the link "Study and examination regulations").

You can use the search window or restrict the search criteria so as the study programs currently offered at TU Berlin will be presented to you (semester, university, type of degree via Advanced search).

    As you can apply for only one Master’s degree program per semester, please inform in advance which program is suitable for you and if you will meet the content-related/specific entry requirements of your desired study program. Please see our study options for detailed information on each study program.

    Fill in the application form. Make sure that your answers to the application-related questions are correct and truthful.

    Via “My Applications” > “My Documents” you can upload and see the uploaded documents (see checklist below).

    • Please upload PDF files exclusively (max. 10 MB in size for each document)
    • Sort and scan your documents in the right order according to page numbers (e.g. transcript)
    • Upload different documents in separate files (e.g. High School Diploma and copy of passport/ID)
    • Please upload each document only once and choose a suitable file name (e.g. Bachelor’s degree certificate)

    Attention: Uploaded documents cannot be deleted afterwards.

    In case you have to scan your documents while not having a scanner at your disposal, you can also use a free scanning app on your smartphone.

    TU Berlin reserves the right to request officially certified copies on a random basis or in reasoned suspected cases for enrolment.

    Please do not send your documents as hard copies to uni-assist or TU Berlin in addition to the uploading.

     

    Please mind the application deadlines (cut-off periods). Documents that are submitted after the application deadline will not be considered.

    Please send your application only if your documents are complete. We kindly ask you to refrain from submitting further/additional documents at a later point in time, if possible.

    If a subsequent submission of documents is absolutely necessary to meet the formal or content-related/specific entry requirements, you have the following option:

    1. Uni-assist has not processed your application yet and the application period is still running: Upload the missing or updated documents onto your My assist account.
    2. Uni-assist has already processed and forwarded your application to TU Berlin. The application period is still running: In this case, upload the documents to be submitted later via the upload form, stating your uni-assist application number as well as the requested personal information. You will receive a confirmation email when we have received your documents.
    • As an uni-assist applicant, you do not need to register via the online portal of the TU Berlin. Therefore, you do NOT have to register via the online registration, but enter the application number of uni-assist.

    3.     The application deadline has expired: Subsequent submission is not possible.

    Further procedure:

    Uni-assist will pre-review your application according to the criteria set by TU Berlin.

    If your application fulfils the criteria, it will be forwarded to TU Berlin as soon as possible for further processing.

    If your application is incomplete, you will be informed by uni-assist. Provided the application period is still running, you can complete your application until the application deadline.

    TU Berlin will then carry out a final review of your application with regard to the formal criteria. You will not receive any notification from the TU Berlin that your application has been received or processed. We ask you here to refrain from enquiries and to check the status of your application in the portal.

    The examinations board of the faculty will then verify your application to see if you meet the content-related/specific entry requirements.

    For the Master’s degree programs with restrictions on admission, a selection procedure will normally take place.

    At the end of the procedure, you will receive a letter of admission or rejection from us. You will find the letter of admission in tuPORT after successful admission, the letter of rejection will be sent by mail.

    Via this portal you can see the current status of your application provided it has already been forwarded to TU Berlin by uni-assist.
