Urban Studies MSc

Cities are now a critical focus for research, policy-making and public debate. While, according to the United Nations, three-quarters of the global population will live in cities by 2050, the nature of this urbanisation is varied and particular. This MSc offers innovative, comparative and interdisciplinary modes of analysis and research that acknowledges and addresses the scale and complexity of contemporary urbanism.<br/><br/>**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.**
