The program is a bit messy and vague. It covers a lot of topics, as sustainability is quite a broad field. The build environment track, which I am taking, is focused mostly on urban mobility, urban planning, and logistics, and I am not very satisfied with it because I would prefer to focus on building technologies and materials. This track is lacking the sustainability side of the built environment.
However, the major courses are very focused on the socio-technical aspects of sustainable innovations, which is something I like so far.
The programme is going well so far, the courses at the beginning of the academic year provide a building foundation of knowledge and skills that will later aid in having a better understanding of more specific courses. However, I think that the specialization procedure should be conducted before the start of the academic year, as the scheduled time is kind of (late) and if you are still not sure of your choice, you will have to choose a specialization even before taking a course in that area to check if it is the path you want to follow.

They are also experts in their respective fields which really helps when you want to do your thesis. Professors are also open to you suggesting your own topics for thesis. The courses are also very well designed for research and in-depth of the topics.
