The field of architecture is currently changing at a rapid pace. In the face of increasing global challenges, both academics and practitioners have to deal with the climate crisis, demographic change, unequal social development and the failures of the existing built environment. To meet these challenges, students pursuing a degree in architecture today need more diverse skills than ever.
Since 1st September 2024, the new BSc and MSc Architecture curricula have been in effect. The updated programmes place a strong emphasis on sustainability, equipping the next generation of architects to tackle current and future challenges, such as climate change. With innovative course content and practical projects, students are being prepared to shape the built environment in a responsible and future-oriented way.

"Yesterday, the focus was on optimizing what already existed, reducing consumption and emissions. Today, it is understood that construction must leave no footprint. From now on, we need buildings that help to compensate for the damage caused. New buildings must absorb more pollutants than they produce and generate more energy than they consume. New architecture is climate-positive."
