ETH RAUM – The New Platform for Spatial Development

ETH RAUM is the new ETH platform offering a broad range of courses in spatial development. The MAS and the three new CAS programmes focus on spatial development, planning practice, process design, and the city as a laboratory of the future.

Spatial planning and development are undergoing a fundamental transformation and pose great challenges to managers and experts. With the ETH RAUM platform, ETH Zurich is creating a broad range of offers in the field of spatial development, thus contributing to networking and further qualifying managers and experts. Sustainable spatial development literally thrives on exchange. With its wide range of offers, ETH RAUM will promote discourse, exchange, and knowledge transfer on current topics relating to a successful and application-oriented development of our living space based on specialist debates, networking formats, and the ETH Zurich offers of continuing education.
All these continuing education programmes focus on the students as individuals and develop contributions to current problems in interdisciplinary teams and on their own initiative.

The Master of Advanced Studies in Spatial Development (MAS ETH RE) is a part-time continuing education programme aimed at engineers, architects, natural scientists, lawyers, real-estate developers, and public authorities. Based on your own academic background, the programme will enable you to deepen or redirect your career towards leadership roles by equipping you with comprehensive competencies in spatial, procedural, and global issues and aspects, and by promoting your personal development.
