The programme is centred around project work where you work with your fellow students to address current, real-world issues. You will learn how to analyse complex planning situations, find connections between energy, environment and urban development – and develop solutions that work in practice. The programme combines theory, methodology and practice, and you will have close collaboration with your professors as well as external partners such as municipalities, companies or organisations.

With a Master’s in Urban, Energy and Environmental Planning, you will have a cross-disciplinary understanding of how urban, energy and environmental planning are interconnected. You will have the skills to analyse complex planning situations, understand the interaction between technical, social and environmental conditions and participate in the development of holistic solutions. You can work strategically and be part of cross-disciplinary teams where balancing different interests and perspectives is essential. You will be trained to think critically with a focus on the long-term, and you will have the tools to contribute to planning and development tasks in both public and private organisations.

With a Master's in Urban, Energy and Environmental Planning, you can work with planning, development and analysis in both public and private organisations. You can find jobs in municipalities, regions, state authorities, utility companies, consultancies or NGOs in positions such as project manager, climate strategist or analyst.  
You will be able to contribute to the development of strategies, plans and analyses that support the sustainable transition and long-term societal development. Many graduates also work in collaboration and process management, finding solutions across disciplines and sectors.
