Sustainable Building Processes is a two-year Master of Science in Engineering programme where students learn to plan, execute, and optimise construction projects with a strong focus on social, economic, and environmental sustainability throughout all phases of the building process.
Students develop advanced competencies to work holistically with sustainability in the construction industry, including creating solutions that reduce CO₂ emissions and promote health and well-being. Teaching alternates between theoretical courses and problem-based group work, with projects based on real-life issues from the construction sector. The first two semesters focus on transformation and operation of buildings, while the third semester offers two specialisations: development of products in the construction value chain or sustainable innovation in the built environment. The final thesis (fourth semester) is written in small groups with supervision.
Career opportunities include consultancy and design, construction and logistics, as well as operation and property management, all with a focus on sustainability goals. Admission is limited and requires a technical or natural science bachelor’s degree with at least 30 ECTS in Building Design and Sustainability. There are 35 study places, with application deadline 1 March and study start in September.
