Special features Built Environment
Design your own profile
In your second year of study, you will start developing your own individual profile. You choose your own PRO modules and work on projects to either broaden or deepen your knowledge. For example, you will contribute to research projects or opt for specific courses. By specialising in areas such as philosophy, sociology, 3D design, virtual reality, traffic modelling or self-driving cars, you can enrich and further shape your individual profile.
This is life!
Project work will be a frequent activity during your Built Environment studies. Based on assignments received from the industry, students (in groups) create concrete plans. These assignments can be complex, because of the many different parties and interests involved. Just think of municipal authorities, property developers, societal organisations and – last but not least – local residents. For these parties you will work on the assignment over a longer period (maximum one semester) in a learning community.
- Learning community
-
A learning community is a long-term collaborative arrangement between students, lecturers, researchers and industry professionals, where knowledge is exchanged and everyone learns from each other. You will be immersed in the world of work, where you will try to come up with innovative, on-the-job solutions while being based at a municipal office or a company.
- Examples
-
BUas works together with the Altena municipality, the municipality of Tilburg, and Urban Living Lab Breda. For these three parties we work on concrete issues within the learning pathway of Sustainability & Liveability. Just think of sustainable agriculture, climate adaptation, sustainable energy, promoting slow traffic modes, and improving neighbourhood liveability through resident involvement. As a student, you will work on concrete plans, maps, tools and recommendations.
