This 90-credit doctoral programme trains specialised researchers to analyse urban development across dimensions such as housing, work, mobility, governance, and community action. Teaching draws on an interdisciplinary base spanning geography, sociology, economics, demography, and political science, and students examine questions including social inclusion, city management, environmental issues, cultural heritage, and citizen engagement. Applicants must submit a roughly three-thousand-word research project describing the problem statement, analytical framework, methodology, and bibliography, together with the written agreement of a professor willing to supervise the research and three letters of recommendation. The programme leads to the degree of Philosophiae doctor (Ph.D.) and can be completed full-time in four years, with a possible one-year extension, or part-time in six years, with possible two-year extensions. Admission to the programme is possible only in the fall term.
