The program also equips students with the necessary skills to plan, appraise, evaluate and deliver large-scale complex infrastructure projects fit for the challenges of the 21st century.

The MIP program is a two year research-oriented Master of Science program (M.Sc.) taught in English.  A large part of the module included in the program is based on the research activities of the participating institutes so that the latest research findings are incorporated into teaching. Students learn to work independently and in groups on various development related topics associated with different research institutes at the University of Stuttgart. Faculty members from a range of institutes and experienced practitioners share their knowledge with an average of 35 students per session. Special emphasis is placed on an interdisciplinary approach to planning in an intercultural context, which is an essential qualification for modern infrastructure planners in large scale and complex projects, especially in international project cooperation.
