A new Master's degree to meet the challenges of urban transition
From the start of the 2025 academic year, a Master's degree in Urban Systems will enable ENAC students to become specialists in adapting cities and surrounding areas to climate change.
Mobility, governance, municipal sustainability agendas, public health, data management... In light of climate change, Switzerland needs to equip itself with experts in urban management in the most comprehensive sense. In collaboration with the world of practice, the School of Architecture, Civil, and Environmental Engineering (ENAC) has developed a new master's degree in urban systems.
Scheduled to start in the fall semester of 2025, it will offer graduates of ENAC's civil engineering and environmental engineering bachelor's programs the opportunity to specialize in the sustainable transition of cities and surrounding territories. The master's degree is open to other related disciplines, including architecture, on submission of an application.
Specialisations
By acquiring skills in urban design and project management, as well as economic, sociological and legal expertise, graduates will become trusted resources to companies and public administrations in managing the challenges of sustainable transition. The program has three specializations: Mobility and transportation in a changing climate, Sustainable transitions in urban systems, and Health and well-being in the urban environment.
At the end of the Master's program, students are awarded an EPFL Master of Science MSc in Urban Systems. This diploma entitles them to hold the distinction of EPF qualified engineer.
