The Master's Programme in Regional Science/Spatial Planning including the German-Chilean Dual Master's Programme in Regional Science/Spatial Planning focusing on natural hazards and disaster prevention will be discontinued. No new students will be admitted from the winter semester of 2026/27 onwards. Students currently enrolled can complete their studies as normal.
From the winter semester of 2027/28 onwards, a new, English-taught degree course, the Master's Programme in Social and Spatial Justice in Urban Transformations is planned to start in cooperation with the Institute of Geography and Geoecology (IfGG) and the Faculty of Architecture at KIT.
The German-Chilean Dual Master's Programme in Regional Science/Spatial Planning focuses on risk-oriented spatial planning and regional development, taking into account its social, ecological and economic dimensions. Students learn to analyse conflicts over land use in the context of social, ecological and economic developments in an interdisciplinary manner, to develop solutions and to implement them using appropriate management tools.
The German-Chilean Dual Master's Programme in Regional Science/Spatial Planning is offered by the KIT in cooperation with the Universidad de Concepción (UdeC), Chile. At the UdeC, the three faculties of Environmental Sciences, Social Sciences, and Architecture, Urban Planning and Geography are involved in this programme.
The structure of the international degree programme eoncourages students to forge international contacts and to further develop their intercultural competence.
