The Minor in Sustainable Construction will be open to SAR, SGC, and STI masters students starting in the fall semester. Please check back soon for more information, including the complete study plan.
The new 30-ECTS minor in Sustainable Construction prepares students to contribute to sustainable construction in their future careers. The program covers the entire interdisciplinary range – from materials to sustainable design, to urban design and engineering — to address embodied carbon, which is essential for reducing the overall carbon footprint of our built environment.
The minor in Sustainable Construction is for you if:
You want to ready yourself to tackle global challenges in the built environment and get ready for a rapidly evolving market.
The construction industry is increasingly focusing on sustainability in response to climate change, regulatory pressures, and carbon accounting. A minor in sustainable construction broadens your understanding of construction practices, new low-carbon building materials and environmental considerations, making you a more versatile professional and increasing your ability to tackle a wide variety of projects.
You are curious about interdisciplinary knowledge.
Sustainable construction encompasses various fields, including architecture, material engineering, structural engineering, environmental science, and urban planning. With this minor, you will gain a multidisciplinary perspective, enhancing your understanding of how to integrate sustainability principles across domains.
You want to positively impact future communities.
By studying sustainable construction, you become equipped to contribute positively to your communities. You will learn to design and create buildings and infrastructures with the most adequate low-carbon materials that reduce environmental impact, promote energy efficiency, and foster healthier living spaces, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for all.
