ASEOP president Francesco Lo Piccolo states that the study programme fulfils the European quality standards of planning programmes according to the AESOP Charter, complemented by an effective internationalisation of teaching and learning processes.
The Dean of Urban Planning, Professor Jörg Knieling emphasises that internationalisation is an important sign of quality for the Master’s programme. “The HCU already offers very attractive conditions for international students and scientists. Together with our committed International Office the Urban Planning study programme optimises its quality continuously. Along the way, the AESOP assessment gives us important stimuli for further improvement.”
