Over the past twenty years, modern technologies and high functional demands have made many specialisa-tions necessary for planning-related professions in the fi elds of construction and architecture. As a new comer facade planning is undisputedly high on the list of the most demanding and versatile professional speciali-sations. Here, legal, physical, material-technological, structural-design and particular architectural and ae-sthetic issues converge.
The master of „International Facade Design and Const-ruction (IFDC)“ not only provides an extensive overview and the scientifi c foundation of the fi eld of facade planning and consulting, but also enables personal specialization.
1. Introduction and explanation
The master‘s program „International Facade Design and Construction (IFDC)“ is in its fi fth year and the newly launched module handbook serves both as handout and study base for the participants. All in-formation and teaching content are collected in the handbook as well as module‘s descriptions and wor-kload for each semester.

The advanced part-time degree course „International Facade Design and Construction (IFDC)“ is a post-graduate master’s course within the meaning of § 62 HG. It requires a fi rst qualifying professional academic degree. After passing the Master’s examination, the academic degree „Master of Engineering“ (M.Eng.) is awarded.
The aim of the course is to assist the participants to acquire a scientifi c knowledge and professional ap-proaches to technical challenges in the fi eld of const-ruction and design. After the course, the students will be able to develop and provide solutions to complex problems in practice, research and development.
2. Objectives and Contents of IFDC
A strong practical focus arises from the close coopera-tion with the supporting companies, who supply an up to date knowhow of the state of the art and technical trends. Furthermore, external specialists and partner universities in the IFDC program present innovative trends and current developments in research. As a part-time study the course opens up a future-oriented perspective that will support personal previous qualifi -cation and professional experience.

technical knowhow focuses on the changes and the developments of building’s envelopes;
scientifi c and developed approaches to facades in the fi eld of architecture and construction;
planning and realization of existing structures, with consideration for demolishing, renovation, conversi-on and recycling;
synergies and advantages from the network bet-ween universities, companies and specialists from all over Europe.

The IFDC program consists of four terms of studying, starting annually in winter. The fi rst three semesters are comprised of two full input-weeks and a few ad-ditional weekends.
The course takes place at alternating venues, either at the University of Applied Sciences in Detmold, at the cooperating companies or at the partner universities.All lectures and exercises will pertain to an integral project and will be given by professors of the university and external experts.
In each semester a conference is organized, that deals with current questions concerning the building envelo-pe. The conference is open to the public and has been established as an international exchange occasion bet-ween academia and praxis. In the conference week,
3. Curriculum and course of studies
seminaries and workshops will be conducted for the IFDC participants and the students of the partnering universities. Speakers from the symposium will guide through these workshops.
The modular contents are provided in various forms: lectures, guest lectures, seminars, educational excur-sions, projects and self-assessment.
The program is successfully concluded with a master thesis during the fourth semester. In general, the thesis should have a strong basis in practice. Therefore, it might be accomplished with a cooperation partner in the construction industry, an engineering fi rm, a state authority or another department of the University of Applied Science - Hochschule OWL.

If the required 30 credits of the additional study achie-vements are pursued in a compact internship, it will be integrated into the course of study after the third semester and before starting the master thesis. Ex-tension of the standard period of study will lead to additional contributions to the course administration. The participants will be charged for the extra costs.
As an alternative to a compact internship, the required 30 credits can be obtained during the semester break and during or parallel to studies by participating in workshops, research activity within the university, sum-mer schools in other universities or language courses. These achievements have to be accepted and recog-nized by the examination committee and the program director respectively.

a. Teaching and learning forms
The contents of the modules will be offered in different teaching forms, such as lectures, seminars, projects, self-assessment, educational excursions and work-shops. The study can be completed as part-time study. The attended modules are therefore approximately 25% of the curriculum, the remaining 75% of the stu-dies should be organized by the participants themsel-ves. The participants’ self study will be supported by intensive coaching in the attended modules and by the university‘s internal ‘e-learning’ facility.
The contents of the course are designed to be modular and are taught as often as possible with a practical semester tasks. In this way, project processes and concepts or details can be elaborated over a longer
5. Module overview
period and at greater depth. Using a high number of possible synergies in preparation and follow-ups, the participants will be able to deal with practical planning tasks intensively. Exemplary construction projects are viewed from a multitude of angles thus leading to a comprehensive overview of common problems in the professional fi eld of the future graduates.
The university‘s internal ‘e-learning‘ platform will offer an online self-assessment, which allows the partici-pants to realize the requested primary knowledge for the advanced master’s degree program. Basic know-ledge can be refreshed according to the individual needs through the cited literature and it is not part of the normal workload in the master course.

b. Conference module
In each semester there will be a conference that deals with current issues concerning the facade. The sym-posia are open to the public, and have established themselves as a European forum for exchange bet-ween universities, institutions, associations and indus-try. Facade conference is accompanied by seminars and workshops with international speakers and par-ticipants from the partner universities, which are – as a part of the curriculum - prepared and followed up at the course location in Detmold. Each conference module concludes with an examination at the end of the semester.

c. Compulsory elective subjects scientifi c writing
The module „M6 - Facade Concept“ consists of a range of compulsory elective subjects. The participants can choose to focus on different themes to work upon. Topics may come from the following areas:
- design and planning;- construction and technology;- materials and technology;- production and assembly softwares;- comfort and energy;- refurbishment;- recycling and sustainability.
A list of topics with the current tasks referring to the areas (as stated above) is handed out to the parti-cipants. Individual topics can be launched as tasks
after consultation with the examination committee. In addition, special subjects can be developed with the industry partners. By constantly revising the list of to-pics the relevance of current market developments and technical innovations is anchored to the curriculum.
Compulsory electives can be changed. This also ap-plies, if an elective is not fi nally passed or not defi ned as passed. Such changes are only permitted until the point of admission to the colloquium.
It is possible for a subject that has been worked upon in the module M6 to also be the theme for the master thesis. Then the task of the master thesis on the ba-sis of already acquired knowledge is framed with the examination committee.

e. Master thesis:
The course concludes with the master thesis in the fourth semester. The thesis is carried out together with the participating industrial partners, an engineering fi rm, or carried out with specialists from another de-partment at the Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe to achieve a high practical relevance and interdisciplinary collaboration. The subjects range from a scientifi c ana-lysis to a subject oriented product design and refl ect the variety of individual specialization in the degree program IFDC. Participants can deepen their previous course achievements in the thesis. In particular achie-vements from the modules M6 and M7 can serve as basis for a master‘s thesis.
d. Scientifi c working:
Since a master’s degree program should always relate to current research, all necessary information and exer-cises are aligned to „Scientifi c Working“. In our course , teaching is closely associated with the research. On one side there are research platforms within our de-partments of the university, and on the other side there are the personal commitment of the lecturers and pro-fessors who themselves have completed an academic career, and are actively researching.
Module „M6 - Facade Concept“ focuses on developing the participants’ skills of scientifi c writing by shedding light on some methods and techniques in this fi eld. The result is a scientifi c examination of a chosen topic with defi ned scope. The acquired basic methods will then be refi ned in module „M7 - Facade Details“ and the thesis.

f. Examinations:
In general, all the modules offered in the same semes-ter will conclude with an examination; sometimes the exam is scheduled in the second examination period (before the beginning of the next semester) in order to extend the time for preparation. The examination committee shall set the examination dates for each semester and will announce them in time.
The following types of exams, regulated by the M-PO (08/09/2011) are possible within the program IFDC:
- written test;- oral examination;- presentation;- composition with presentation;- composition with colloquium.
The type of exam is assigned to the modules in section 6 „Module description“, but could be changed by the supervisor of the module depending on the semester project.
