Materials in Artistic Practices (MAPs)
In the Materials in Artistic Practices (MAPs) study programme from Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen, you will explore a world in transition through material research. We chose a holistic approach, by exploring the tangible, aesthetic and practical properties of materials and their historic, cultural, political, and ecological entanglements.
Metropolitan Analysis, Design and Engineering
The Metropolitan Analysis, Design and Engineering programme of Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is a master's with a focus on sustainable development. You learn to create innovative solutions for the challenges that metropolitan regions are facing in securing environmental change, urban sustainability and the quality of life in cities.

Situated Design
This Situated Design, M.A course Avans University of Applied Sciences graduation track Situated Design recognizes you as a distinct presence in the world. You immerse in modern discourses and focus on prevailing conditions, situated knowledge and design practices.
Architecture, Building And Planning - Mastertrack Architectural Urban Design and Engineering
The Architecture, Building And Planning - Mastertrack Architectural Urban Design and Engineering from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) consists of two main disciplines: Architecture and Urbanism. Depending on the direction you choose, you are trained as an architect or urban designer. The difference between the two lies mainly in the scale of research and design of the built environment.
Interior Architecture (INSIDE)
The Master of Interior Architecture (INSIDE) at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague offers a two-year professional education that strives to explore the field of spatial design in its broadest sense by reimagining the role of the practicing designer with concerns about a society in transition.
