Cities face growing challenges related to climate change, limited resources, and rapid technological change. Sustainable Intelligent Habitats master’s study programme prepares students to design smarter, greener, and more resilient urban systems by combining sustainability engineering with the Internet of Things (IoT), and data-driven decision-making.

Delivered through a flexible blended learning model, the programme combines online lectures with hands-on experiments, making it suitable for working professionals.

A key feature is a month-long practical training at European partner organisations, offering international experience and industry insight. Students will work on real-world projects and use advanced tools such as drones, remote sensing, geodata, and data management systems to develop solutions for future-ready infrastructure.
