NEW GENERATION OF EXPERTS
Investing in real estate has become increasingly interesting and lucrative due to global economic crises - but a long-term sustainable return will only be achieved if the entire life cycle of a property is considered. Location, energy costs and future mobility issues will be the challenges.
These topics will also address the educational sector and train students in sustainable project development. The degree program "Sustainable Building & Property Management" trains this new generation of experts in the cross-sectional topic of "sustainable real estate and infrastructure development". In addition to gaining a basic understanding of technical and architectural issues, the course will increasingly address the business management requirements of this profession. Therefore, commercial, technical and legal parameters are in the focus.
For an occupational field with a high level of responsibility but a lack of adequately trained specialists, the course fills a gap in the educational field.
Within the curriculum, students acquire engineering fundamentals in civil engineering, structural design and building services engineering and are given a basic understanding of tasks in architecture and design. The qualification profile is complemented by in-depth knowledge of economics, real estate and infrastructure management, always embedded in considerations of ecology and sustainability.
Fireside chats are part of the teaching in the Sustainable Building & Property Management program and take place twice per academic year. At informal meetings in small groups, specific sustainability topics are discussed with high-ranking speakers. They are designed to ensure a personal atmosphere and facilitate a fruitful dialogue with representatives from business, administration and politics.
