Position Details (Master's)

The Architecture, Building And Planning - Mastertrack Architectural Urban Design and Engineering from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) consists of two main disciplines: Architecture and Urbanism. Depending on the direction you choose, you are trained as an architect or urban designer. The difference between the two lies mainly in the scale of research and design of the built environment.

While architecture deals roughly with the level of the building, the building ensemble and even a smaller scope, urban planning starts right here and zooms out much further. Within the scale area, you learn to design spatially. You base this on a broad and thorough analysis and extensive preliminary research of the site and building typology, of the program, references, historical precedents, theory and innovative developments.

The Architecture, Building And Planning - Mastertrack Architectural Urban Design and Engineering from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is characterized by its personal approach, versatility, integral coherence and a convivial, committed atmosphere. You have all the space you need to shape your program individually and the lines of communication between students and lecturers are short. You can also opt for the customized program, which entitles you to admission – as an architect or urban planner – to the Register of Architects.
