Infrastructure Planning (MIP)

A well-planned system of infrastructure facilities is the primary prerequisite for development. On the international level, there is a pressing need for professionals capable of directing the conception, planning and construction of necessary infrastructure facilities for transport, water and waste management at the urban as well as the regional level of integrating economic, social, ecological and management requirements. With the Master’s Program Infrastructure Planning (MIP), the University of Stuttgart has been offering this practice-oriented and internationally acclaimed Master’s program since 1983. Faculty members of 13 different institutes and experienced practitioners offer their knowledge to a limited number of 35–40 students per course. Emphasis is placed on an interdisciplinary approach to planning, which is essential for modern infrastructure planning and international cooperation.
