Germany is the greatest place to study urban planning. I was looking for a high academic level master plan and I found not only the finest university, but the perfect location to learn. The Urban Agglomerations Master is taught by world known professionals, professors who are always willing to share their wide knowledge with the students, and the university helps you through the process of applying and getting settled . The city, with its very organized environment, is constantly improving itself, and providing the best conditions to students in every way possible.
Frankfurt it’s a city where you can see urban planning working, where a variety of cultures meet. I have learnt from a lot from my the studies but more from my own classmates, as we all have very different backgrounds and beliefs coming together in the academic ground and expanding our view of the world.

Particularly eligible for English speakers! Students from all parts of the world have a chance of studying and living in Frankfurt. A unique experience to learn with and from people that have very different backgrounds and cultures, perceptions and philosophy. Team work experience and presentation skills are gradually developed. The issues addressed in the course are completely up-to-date and tackle the problems of urban agglomerations worldwide. A very ambitious programme, challenging and gratifying altogether.

I was seeking to connect my profession, architecture, with something related with embracing more people and doing something for the world. Urban Agglomerations program is exactly what it is about and it has provided me to enhance myself on the issues about how to create more human scale, collective and self-sustainable built environments for everyone. In a world that is urbanizing faster than history has ever seen, studying such an issue with a global perspective will lead to an important career that is to be increasingly sought for. For me, dealing with the problems about betterment of life qualities and working for common good through urban development field is not only exciting but also idealistic. FH FFM provides a unique opportunity about the current global issues and also enhances it by allowing students to go for diverse partner universities to widen the perspective. Besides, all those is provided in the heart of Europe, in an alpha world city of Frankfurt.

The decision to participate in the international Master programme Urban Agglomerations was actually the right one. Focusing strongly on today’s urban development in both developing and industrialised countries, while emphasising issues as sustainability and governance, the study programme enables me to understand, judge and in the future form an active part in the ongoing process of worldwide urbanisation.
The course is very well organised, with highly enthusiastic and competent staff, both in the organisational and academic sector. This combined with the excellent facilities on campus at FH Frankfurt, I can only recommend

Why did I choose to come to Germany? Well... there won’t be any better place to study urban development, that’s undeniable. Once you open your mind, and realize that cities are now our true nature and most of the population in the world will be living in one urban agglomeration, you cannot stop thinking about this master’s program. That’s what it happened to me. Here I have the chance to study in detail all this urban matters and see the examples live on the excursions we regularly do.
On the other hand, Frankfurt is perfect for carrying out my studies.
Transport is not a problem as I can use the bus and train’s system freely and unlimited, which also connects me to the rest of Europe from the centre itself. The city skyline is impressive and public space all around the city is very nice and well oriented for walking and cycling.
There is always something to do as many places are open for you to go like museums, theatres, music halls, restaurants and clubs; and if it’s the right day you can also go to one the seasonal fares and markets.
