Our Urban Design Master's and PGDip is aimed at built environment professionals who want to develop knowledge, understanding and skills in the field of urban design. This Urban Design Master's prepares you to contribute towards an improvement in the quality of the built environment. We've structured the course around three main urban projects. Each explores key contemporary issues in urban design: - urban regeneration - housing - public space and engagement Theoretical and practical lectures, seminars and workshops underpin these projects. The course is primarily studio based. There is an emphasis on independent learning. You're encouraged to cultivate a studio atmosphere within your year group. You'll learn from each other's diverse disciplinary backgrounds. The Urban Design Master's builds on the strengths of the multidisciplinary character of its cohort. It complements existing skills and experience in built environment-related disciplines. You'll develop new skills in understanding and designing in physical, social and economic contexts. Students from a variety of educational and professional backgrounds could take this course; including: - architecture - urban planning - landscape architecture - property development - art - community engagement Our Urban Design Master's and PGDip has strong links with the Urban Design Group (UDG). One of our graduates won the student prize at the prestigious National Urban Design Awards.
