Master track Design and Decision Support Systems (DDSS) in combination with the Master track Architecture (Arch.)

The DDSS+ARCH combination is open for students who want to specialize themselves in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the architectural design process and also want to claim registration in the architect's register after graduation. The course programme consists of the compulsory courses of the DDSS track as well as the compulsory courses of the Architecture (ARCH) track with supervisors from both graduation trajects. The consequence of combining both tracks is an extra study load of at least 16 ECTS.

DDSS+Arch blog

To get a feeling for this direction take a look at the DDSS+Arch blog. This blog is maintained by a number of graduate students that are involved in this combined track.

Take a look at the DDSS+Arch blog.
