Urban Studies MSc

Students gain an advanced understanding of urban theory, develop a range of critical analytical lenses to explore urban challenges shaping the world, contemporary as well as historical. The programme focuses on an interface between theory and practice across a diverse set of topics, from critical urban debates to creative engagements with the urban. It also questions our normative categorisation of cities such as the global South, post-socialist cities and other regional rationalisations to rethink a global understanding of concerns from capitalist development to socio-ecological change.
