About Environmental Planning (M.Sc.)

Our environment is constantly changing. Humans and nature must continually adapt - whether due to the increase in greenhouse gases, the decrease in biodiversity, or the growing use of area in urban spaces. Environmental planning offers methods and tools to react to these changes. The objective is to coordinate our standards and requirements when it comes to nature and landscape in an efficient and environmentally compatible way.

In the English-language, international masters program in Environmental Planning, you will look at these challenges with a strong interdisciplinary focus, whereby ecological, design, social scientific, engineering, and planning scientific contents all play a role. During your studies, you will also benefit from TU Berlin's many cooperation agreements with partners in the public and private sectors.

In the masters program in Environmental Planning, you will gain the following competences and skills:

Understanding of processes in planning and environmental assessments in Europe and around the world as well as knowledge of
spatial environmental planning and the tools for carrying out plans and environmental assessments,
application of the key guidelines and sector policies of the European Community relevant to environmental planning,
important links to ecological, landscaped architectonic, and socio-scientific areas as well as
knowledge about possibilities for continuing and new developments in European environmental regulations.

You will also expand your team skills, confidence and communication, social and leadership skills, and factual assertiveness.
