Engineering and Sustainable Technology Management — Smart Building Technologies (MEng)

The Master's programme in Engineering and Sustainable Technology Management with a focus on Smart Building Technologies at SRH Berlin University of Applied Sciences prepares students to meet the modern demands of sustainable architecture and building technology. Over the course of four semesters, students engage in in-depth study of smart technologies within the context of sustainable construction and urban development. The curriculum is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of engineering principles, advanced management strategies, and sustainability in the building industry.

Students will progress through a structured format that includes modules focusing on innovative building technologies, project management, and sustainability assessment. The ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) allows for an internationally recognized framework of learning, ensuring students gain verifiable academic credit for their efforts. The programme culminates in a thesis project that provides an opportunity for students to conduct research, apply their knowledge, and demonstrate their expertise in a practical context.

The programme appeals to a diverse group of students interested in the intersection of technology, architecture, and sustainability. It is particularly well-suited for those with a background in engineering, architecture, or related fields who are keen to expand their understanding of smart building technologies and their application in reducing environmental impact. Students also benefit from a practical semester or internship, which is a hallmark of applied sciences education in Germany, enabling them to gain invaluable work experience and industry connections.

Moreover, studying in Berlin offers access to a vibrant professional landscape, with numerous research institutions and companies focused on sustainable technology and smart solutions for buildings. The German job market is supportive of graduates, with the attractive post-study job-seeking permit allowing for 18 months of work opportunities in their field, enhancing career prospects for international students.
