A socio-economic transformation only works if citizens are actively involved in decision-making processes. This is what the Master's degree in Planning and Participation at the University of Stuttgart deals with.
The master's program places great emphasis on combining theory and practice and prepares students for a career in mediation and facilitation, administration, political parties, research institutions, transportation and energy utilities.

The standard duration of study is 4 semesters. More info can be found here:
