EXCHANGE PROGRAM (English-taught)
Dutch Architecture
You see a structure or empty lot and imagine the perfect building. From every angle. That fits into the surroundings. Is that you? Create next-level architecture skills. Learn to better sketch and model. To design and analyze your own buildings. And see how they can fit into the cultural landscape.
Co-create Urban Transition
Transforming a rural society into an urban landscape. Amazing! But highly challenging. You tackle themes like quality of life and aging. And learn how to conduct interdisciplinary and real-life research. To manage social, technical and economic issues. And how to co-create.
Dutch Architecture meets Dutch Landscape Architect
To promote connection with further education and landscape architectural together with architectural professional practice, this minor, “Dutch Architecture meets Dutch Landscape architecture”, will be organized in cooperation with Van Hall Larenstein (VHL)
Bio-Based Innovations
You learn how to develop sustainable designs. And products with a minimal carbon footprint. You use your new-found knowledge and work with the pros. To help your nation take the needed steps to a circular economy. You learn this and so much more!
