Overview

Architecture, Building and Planning programme from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) covers the broad spectrum of disciplines related to the built environment. They range from architectural and urban design to civil engineering and structural design, and from there on to building physics and services and to urban planning, mobility and real estate development.

We will be addressing the study of building materials and techniques, building structures and property development to boost your knowledge of planning, creating, maintaining and conserving buildings, cities and infrastructure – rethinking the arrangement of corridors, the roof and building elements, for example.

You select a specialization in which you follow courses, design projects and research projects. You are encouraged to create cross-connections between two or more of our tracks, better understanding the problems of the other disciplines. We will help you to apply your synthetic skills and analytical abilities in a design-oriented approach that is embedded in research.

Career

As there are various tracks within the program, there are also different job perspectives for each career path. With a technical background in building physics or in structural design, you are well prepared for a job as a structural or building physics engineer, or for technical consultancy. The architectural and urban design and engineering tracks are an ideal preparation for a future in architecture or urban design.

A background in urban systems and real estate gives you a solid basis for a function as an urban planner at a municipality, a corporate function at a real estate developer or an advisory function in the field of real estate development and transformation. After having completed one of our mobility tracks, you can become a mobility planning expert.
