Program details
Overview
This 45-credit master's degree trains specialists in urban studies to analyze urban economic and social dynamics, evaluate urban policy, and assess the built and natural environment of cities. Offered in a thesis profile or a research-internship profile, the program can be completed full-time in two years or part-time in four years, with a possible one-year extension. Admission is offered in the fall and winter terms, and classes are held during the day and evening. The program draws on bachelor's-level training in the humanities, urban studies, urban planning, tourism, architecture, design, or administration, and suits candidates who want to develop research or applied analytical skills addressing contemporary urban issues, whether continuing directly from undergraduate study or returning with relevant professional experience.
