Master of Integrated Design (MID)

The Master of Integrated Design (MID) at OWL University of Applied Sciences and Arts provides a comprehensive education in architecture, focusing on an integrated approach to design that encompasses both creative and technical disciplines. Designed for those who aspire to excel in architectural and design fields, this program encourages exploration and innovation, preparing students to address complex design challenges. The curriculum emphasizes sustainable design practices and the integration of new technologies into traditional architectural practices.

Spanning over four semesters, the program combines theoretical learning with practical application, structured around modules that cover essential topics in architecture and design. This includes the exploration of contemporary design methodologies, materials science, and urban planning. Students accumulate ECTS credits throughout the program, culminating in a significant thesis project that allows them to delve deeply into a particular area of interest.

The MID program is suited for graduates from related disciplines who are looking to broaden their skills in design, project management, and innovative thinking. Participants will gain vital competencies such as critical and analytical thinking, teamwork, and sustainable design strategies that are increasingly important in today’s architectural landscape.

In addition, OWL's collaboration with industry partners, especially from the renowned German Mittelstand, provides students with networking opportunities and insights into real-world applications of their studies. The program also allows for an internship semester, enabling students to gain hands-on experience while benefiting from Germany's 18-month post-study job-seeking permit, thus maximizing their career potential.
