Sustainability has become a central topic of economic activity – particularly in the real estate and construction sector, where climate protection, ESG requirements, and economic viability are closely interconnected. At the same time, organizations are increasingly required not only to develop sustainable strategies but to implement them in practice. This is exactly where the program comes in: it creates an integrated understanding of ecological, economic, and social requirements and empowers participants to bring these together across the entire value chain.
The program brings together disciplines that have often been considered separately – architecture, civil engineering, real estate, and environmental management. At its core is the implementation of sustainability in planning, construction, operation, and management. Participants learn to understand complex interrelationships holistically and to make informed decisions for long-term value creation within the context of regulatory requirements, technological developments, and economic conditions.
Shaping sustainable real estate. Responsibly. Future-oriented. Interdisciplinary.
The program is designed for working professionals who want to further develop their expertise, work across disciplines, and actively shape the transformation of the industry. It provides the space to deepen existing knowledge, gain new perspectives, and prepare for leadership responsibilities.
The part-time blended learning format combines online elements with 6 five-day in-person modules in Munich, enabling participants to directly apply new knowledge to their professional context. The close exchange with lecturers from academia and the real estate industry creates an inspiring learning environment and strengthens the ability to develop and implement sustainable strategies in interdisciplinary teams.
This part-time master’s program is jointly designed with the TUM School of Engineering and Design and in cooperation with the TUM Cluster Sustainable Real Estate (CSRE). This close collaboration ensures that cutting-edge research, regulatory trends, and real-world industry challenges are integrated into teaching. Participants also gain access to a valuable network across academia, industry, and public institutions.
As a University of Excellence with an international reputation, TUM stands for scientific excellence and innovative teaching. The Master in Sustainable Real Estate equips you to take on responsibility and actively shape the future of the real estate and construction sector.
