Summary
As cities become increasingly central to research, policy-making, and public discourse, understanding their complexities is more important than ever. With the UN predicting that 75% of the global population will reside in cities by 2050, the nature of urbanisation is diverse and multifaceted. Join us and explore the scale and intricacies of modern urbanism through this interdisciplinary Master’s programme. Develop the skills necessary for a career in academia, research, and other fields that require a deep understanding of cities and urban transformation.
Modular (flexible) students - Some postgraduate taught and MRes programmes are available on a modular basis. Modular study lasts between 2 and 5 years. This is different to a part-time study which lasts for a fixed period.
