This Master of Science offers an advanced academic route in designing spatial arrangements and urban policies, to transform and manage the city, territory, and environment.

The MSc in Environmental and Infrastructure Planning is the best Planning master in the Netherlands, according to the yearly Elsevier magazine survey. During the program, you are going to compare international theory and practice, study urban areas and issues of infrastructure, environment, and water, while involving thinking (policy strategies) and doing (practical work on projects and plans). Our program is linked to international (e.g., AESOP) and national (e.g., Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment) institutes and Groningen offers a wide range of English-language course options and facilities.

Gain specialist knowledge in the regeneration of cities with this accredited master's

The fields of architecture and urban design are central to some of the most pressing societal, environmental and cultural challenges currently facing humanity. Graduates in this field need to master a wide range of skills, from design, engineering, and technology to critical thinking. This MSc in Architecture and Urban Design provides the knowledge and know-how necessary to practice architecture and urban design professionally.

Would you like to expand your knowledge and skills in the field of landscape architecture's larger-scale developments? Then this is the right Master's programme for you.

In practice, there is a common tension between those developing and interpreting planning policy on the one hand, and the designers of cities on the other. This programme brings these groups together to engage in project-based learning. You will develop planning research, urban analysis and design skills before deciding whether to complete an urban design thesis or dissertation. Both of these options can be completed as work-based studies with opportunities for summer placements.

The University of Birmingham's online MSc Urban Sustainability is a highly specialised programme that focuses on the scientific and technical aspects of implementing urban sustainability solutions. Through a blend of interdisciplinary learning, hands-on projects, and expert mentorship, you will develop the theoretical foundation and practical skills to design resilient cities and communities.

The MSc is offered by Centre for Architecture and Sustainable Environment, a new research centre in the Kent School of Architecture and Planning (KSAP) that promotes a cross-disciplinary approach to research in the field of sustainability in the built environment, bridging the traditional boundaries between the arts and the sciences, research and practice. The course content ranges from the development of the design skills and the technical and scientific understanding required to develop sustainable solutions for new and existing buildings, the analysis of historic buildings and past environment technologies, to a critical exploration of the historical and cultural context of sustainability and environmental design.

The master's programme in Architecture offers a unique learning environment where the possibilities for students to tailor their degrees are remarkable. Apart from orientation courses that explore the fundamentals of architecture, students freely choose studio courses from a wide range of themes that address current architectural topics. Graduates reach leading positions both in private architectural firms and the public sector.

RTU’s professional master’s in Architecture is a comprehensive, internationally recognised programme that equips students with the skills and knowledge necessary to pursue independent professional practice in architecture.

A multidisciplinary study experience on smart city innovations and business solutions triggered by the transition towards sustainable urban environments. The program fosters talents in developing and implementing innovative smart city projects. Experts from academia and industry propose an innovative learning experience equipping participants with the right competencies to thrive in a fast-evolving employment landscape. The program is tailored also to suit government and corporate professionals seeking career development.

Cities and urban regions are breeding grounds for innovation and economic growth. However, continuous urban growth can lead to several challenges and differences, and an increasingly global economy has both winners and losers. So how do different people use and experience a diversity of spaces within cities? And how can we explain that some regions grow, while others decline?

We deliver comprehensive planning education at the Masters's level, with a particular focus on cities, their territorial environment, and their transformation. Our approach is design-oriented with a solid theoretical background. The issues of urban, regional, and transboundary planning, strategic planning, urban regeneration, new planning tools are also included in the program.

The study programme takes into account in a balanced way the practical and theoretical aspects of the architectural profession with an emphasis on the problem of creativity and design independence of graduates. The leading courses in the students' education are design, which is complemented by field studies related to modern construction systems, as well as theoretical (theory of architecture and urban planning, heritage protection, elements of philosophy, aesthetics) and computer-based (various types of modelling: BiM, 3D) ones. All offered courses and design studies are based on the "Research by design" model, and their wide choice allows students to pursue individual creative interests. Students have the opportunity to work with active architects, with specialists in various fields, and they can also participate in scientific programmes, international exchanges, workshops and study trips. After completion of the Master’s programme in Architecture and Urban Planning students are awarded the Master’s Degree in Architecture. Graduates are equipped with knowledge and skills that enable them to enrol themselves on doctoral and specialised postgraduate programmes.

This programme trains students to apply their complex knowledge in the areas of architecture and urban planning, as well as in the multi-faceted field of environment formation in general (architectural design, town and country planning, preservation of built heritage, structural design, construction work, management and administration tasks, consulting with authorities, teaching, etc.)
