Programme
HFT Stuttgart’s MEng in Smart City Solutions (SCS) is designed for professionals in the fields of architecture, urban design, urban planning, infrastructure or engineering; equipping them to take leading roles in complex international projects. Attracting experienced postgraduates from around the world, the Master Programme provides you with the knowledge and methods to work in smart city projects with a focus on strategy, concept and project implementation: either self-employed, as a leading consultant for an international company or as a leading architect, urban planner or engineer.
Students acquire the soft skills and the basic knowledge in fields related to the urban challenges Smart Cities promise to redress: transport and energy, urban development and urban planning, governance and finance, construction and architecture, urban data platforms and use cases. The unique feature of the programme is the Case Study. During this two-semester course students draft and conceptualize a smart city strategy for a city or an urban development in close exchange with their lecturers and the responsible persons from the case study, exposing their ideas to frequent reality checks. Past Case Studies were hosted by the City of Ludwigsburg, Siemens and the City of Ulm.
Students who are preparing to take up leadership roles in their smart city careers can opt for the dual degree and earn an additional MBA from Liverpool John Moores University. This requires spending an additional semester in the United Kingdom.
Career prospects
SCS graduates move to strategic positions in the emerging smart city job-market. Students enrolling at SCS have earned work experience after completing their first university degree. They are looking for exposure to new ideas, methods and knowledge outside their job which enables them to reach the next career level. SCS furnishes them with the cross-sectoral understanding of disciplines like water, energy, mobility, and IT- and data-based solutions. The optional semester at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), UK equips them with additional leadership skills.SCS graduates are sought after by national and international municipalities, real-estate developers, utility providers, architectural design offices, engineering firms and research institutes.
