Program Enrolment Eligibility

Only graduate students from mechanical and electrical engineering departments are eligible to enroll.

Interdisciplinary Master on "Resource Efficient Cities"

IMaREC is an Interdisciplinary Master Program on "Resource Efficient Cities”.

Many cities of the global south suffer from key pressing challenges such as continuous population growth, severe energy crisis, water poverty issues, inadequate urban mobility, inefficient waste management, social disparity and inequality, and increasing / increased level of pollution. Education and research respond to such challenges mostly by disciplinary approaches to technical or socio-economic solutions (e.g. technical engineering, urban planning, social and natural sciences, and economics), but often lack a deliberate and integrated approach to the city as a system. Therefore, IMaREC targets to respond to these challenges from an integrated view of engineering, social sciences, economics and governance, where resource efficiency and sustainable consumption and production patterns are key aspects – tackling energy, water, transportation systems, food supply, urban design, resilience and much more. Additionally, the use of advanced and information technology to optimize the operations of cities is addressed through the concept of “Smart Cities”included in IMaREC.

IMaREC targets to qualify graduates and professionals who are involved in planning, design, management and operation of cities with competences and skills that enable them to deal with real-life problems and respond to current pressing challenges in cities using an integrated and cooperative / participatory / team approach, given the principle of city as a system of all sectors to provide the basic functions for its inhabitants on all scales.

IMaREC is jointly developed by 5 universities partners including Ain Shams University, Egypt; TH Köln University of Applied Sciences, Germany; Autonomous University of San Luis Potosi, Mexico; Kenyatta University, Kenya, and Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia under the umbrella of the global CNRD-Exceed Network of excellence of universities. IMaREC Program implementation will start in September 2017 in Egypt and is planned to be replicated in Mexico, Kenya and Indonesia in the near future.

Integrated Urbanism & Sustainable Design

• The Integrated Urbanism and Sustainable Design (IUSD) is an International Master Programme at Ain Shams University. IUSD was established in 2011 as a platform for interdisciplinary research and design on integrated sustainable approaches of landscapes, cities and buildings.
• IUSD is a double-degree Master Programme currently organized by Ain Shams University and the University of Stuttgart, with one year in University of Stuttgart and another year at Ain Shams University.
• IUSD trains and prepares a new generation of urban practitioners to face the tremendous environmental, cultural, socio-economic and governance challenges resulting from the dynamic urban transformation around the globe.
• It is open to graduates and young professionals from the fields of architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture and regional planning as well as to graduates with other Bachelor degrees and with relevant professional experience.
• Our philosophy is based on transnational learning exchange between students with different regional backgrounds applied to a specific urban reality. Our current experiential learning hubs are focused on the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) and Germany.
• Students work in interdisciplinary teams on site-specific projects in cooperation with local communities and with different stakeholders, organizations and institutions, locally and internationally.
• IUSD students acquire reflective and practical skills to develop integrated and trans-disciplinary solutions for planning, managing and designing landscapes, cities and buildings.

• Training a new generation of urban practitioners and decision-makers.
• Integrating ecological and social approaches to engineering, to design and planning of landscapes, cities and buildings.
• Developing the efficiencies of cities, supporting political decision makers in respect to sustainable urban development.
• Strengthening the link between academia, international organizations and industry in the field of planning and design.
• Creating beneficial research skills and capabilities for similar public-private partnerships projects.
